Collection and Distribution of Seed. 



Owing to the large crop of koa seed, we have been able to 

 collect in the neighborhood of Tantalus 2>S pounds of clean seed. 

 This is the largest supply we have ever had. We now have 

 enough in stock to last us for several years. We are receiving 

 a large number of requests from Australia and Africa for seed 

 of the algaroba {Prosopis juliflora) and w^e are filling the orders 

 as fast as we can get the seed ready. 



Makiki Station. 



The work at this station has been principally routine. We 

 have in stock now a large number of plants of many species and 

 they w^ill all be in good shape for the coming planting season and 

 Arbor Day. 



Honolulu JVatershed Planting. 



The land recently planted in the neighborhood of Sugar Loaf 

 Hill, Makiki Valley and Hering Valley has all been gone over 

 and given a thorough hoeing and clearing. The section upon 

 which the pest Caesalpinia bonduc had taken possession has been 

 practically cleared and all that remains to be done is to keep a 

 strict lookout for seedlings coming up and destroy them. We 

 will be able to commence planting again soon. We have a large 

 number of koa and kukui trees about ready for planting.

The writer was called upon to assist in the pruning of trees 

 along Kalakaua Avenue. Other requests have been attended to 

 as follows: Calls made to places in and around the city, 13; ad- 

 vice given by telephone, 16; advice given at the nursery, 10; ad- 

 vice given by letter, 6; total, 45.
