Sir : — Will you kindly inform your readers that the Division 

 of Forestry will be glad to supply trees as usual for Arbor Day, 

 November 16? 



Trees will be available at the Government Nursery in Hono- 

 lulu and also at the two sub-nurseries, one in Hilo, Hawaii, and 

 the other at Homestead, Kauai. The nursery at Hilo is under 

 the charge of Brother Matthias Newell and the one at Home- 

 stead, Kauai, under the charge of Mr. Walter D. McRrydc. 

 People living within a reasonable distance of the sub-nurseries 

 should apply direct. 



To allow time for the trees to arrive at their destination before 

 Arbor Day, all orders from Hawaii, Kauai, Maui and Molokai, 

 addressed to the Government Nursery, Honolulu, should be in 

 our hands not later than November 5. Orders from Oahu and 

 the district of Honolulu should be in our hands not later than 

 November 10. 



Trees will be shipped f. o. b. to any port where freight is de- 

 livered by the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, also to 

 stations on the O. R. & L. Co.'s line. 



People living within the district of Honolulu who desire trees 

 will be required to call at Nursery for same. 



Trees will be ready for delivery if previously ordered on and 

 after November 14. All trees ordered but remaining uncalled 

 for at the Nursery will be turned back into the regular stock on 

 November 24.

 Government Nursery, Honolulu. 



Yours very truly,
