CONGRESSIONAL VEGETABLE SEED. 



During the month of January, 1909, a consignment of vege- 

 table seed, consisting of 10,000 packages, and also about 300 

 packages of flower see, was received from the Honorable J. K. 

 Kalanianaole. Another similar consignment was received during 

 the month of January, 1910, and the last consignment of 10,000 

 packages of vegetable seed and 300 packages of flower seed was 

 received, for the year 1911, on December 1, 1910. 



The demand for this seed is getting greater each year, and 

 the seed is very much appreciated by homesteaders, and, in fact, 

 every person who may have a small piece of land. Requests 

 come from all over the Islands for packages of the congressional 

 vegetable seed with good reports regarding the previous lots. 

 Many Hawaiians who never tried to raise vegetables before are 

 now, owing to this free distribution, planting and raising vege- 

 tables for their own use, and from these people a great many 

 requests for seed are coming in. 



All the schools of the Territory receive annually a number of 

 packages for the school garden and for instruction. All appli- 

 cations for seed sent by mail receive prompt attention. Persons 

 calling at this office can get what they want and take it with 

 them.
