Collections and Distribution of Seed. 



The seeding season for most of the forest trees, and also a 

 number of the flowering trees is now on, and the seed boys arc 

 busy collecting. From Mr. V^an Valkenberg's place at Kunia we 

 collected in one day over three pounds of clean seed of the euca- 

 lyptus citriodora and one pound of eucalyptus amygdalina. The 

 former is catalogued on the Coast at $22.00 per pound and the 

 latter at $14.00. 



We had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. George W. Hess, 

 Superintendent of the United States Botanic Garden, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, who accompanied the congressional party. We con- 

 ducted Mr. Hess to all the places of interest in and around the 

 city. We also gave him a large package of seed containing man}' 

 species, to take back with him.
