At the request of Major White of Fort Shafter, the writer agreed to 

 take on for two weeks six enlisted men from as many different posts for 

 the purpose of giving them a chance to learn a few of the principal details 

 in propagation, planting, etc. The work consisted of making and planting 

 cuttings, transplanting trees, mixing and sterilizing soil, planting grass, 

 making boxes, and attending to plants in pots and boxes. The six men did 

 very well for the short time they were wdth us, and with a little more 

 practice they no doubt, if allowed to stay by the job long enough, will be 

 the means of improving the looks of the different posts which they are de- 

 tailed to look after.
