 except a few kinds which are 5 cents. Seed of the various palms is also 

 for sale; the price per 100 varying from $1.00 to $2.50. All seed is tested

To give information about insects free of charge is one of the duties 

 of this Division, and Hawaiian readers are hereby invited to make in- 

 quiry in person and by mail. In order to be able to advise intelligently 

 or send the right kind of useful insects for relief, we like and sometimes 

 it is indispensable for us to see the insects suspected or caught in the act, 

 also specimens of the injury. In a tin with a hole or two, or a wooden 

 box specimens may be mailed by parcels post. When specimens are 

 not accompanied by letter always write your name and address in the
