 ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE. 



Under the above head the writer is frequently called to all 

 parts of the city, and sometimes to the outside districts. Numer- 

 ous calls are also made at the office. The demand for advice and 

 assistance has increased a good deal during the past two years. 

 This is due principally to the presence of the military organiza- 

 tions and also to the large number of people who have bought 

 land in the suburbs and are building homes. Many of the people 

 who are making homes have recently arrived from the main- 

 land, and, of course, know little or nothing about what to plant 

 or how to go about it. By such people as these a large num- 

 ber of requests for advice and assistance are being made. 



The officers of the different military organizations are also 

 anxious to beautify their respective posts, and numerous requests 

 for plants, and also for advice and assistance are continually 

 being made. The following gives a number of the most im- 

 portant requests that have been made from the outside districts.
