Collection and Distribution of Seed. 



Our seed collectors have been kept busy in and around the city 

 collecting seed of flowering and forest trees; We have received 

 from H. W. Potts, principal of the Hawkesbury Agricultural Col- 

 lege, Richmond, New South Wales, a package of seed of choice 

 eucalyptus and other trees. We have been requested to send 

 sample packages of our seed in return. A package will be mailed 

 to Mr. Potts by the first steamer going south. 



Makiki Station. 



Work in connection with Arbor Day and other routine work 

 has kept the men busy during the month. 



Honolulu Watershed Planting. 



Owing to tht rank growth of grass and other weeds which 

 have sprung up around the recently planted trees we had to 

 abandon the planting for a time and put the men to hoeing and 

 clearing off. A large part of the first planted area is now safe 

 and will not require any more attention as the trees are well 

 above the grass and brush and are able to take care of them- 

 selves. 



Adviec and Assistance. 



The writer has been called upon to make visits and otherwise 

 give advice and assistance as follows : Calls made in and around 

 city, 12; requests for advice answered by telephone, 15; requests 

 for advice answered by letter, 4 ; requests for advice by people 

 calling at the nursery, 7 ; total, 38.
