INTRODUCTION. 



One of the principal objects of the Division of Forestry is 

 to encourage tree planting. This it does by giving advice on 

 how to grow trees and by furnishing at cost price, tree seed and 

 seedlings. 



Seedlings of the kinds of trees most in demand for planting 

 in different parts of the Territory are kept constantly on hand at 

 the Government Nursery at Honolulu and at several sub-nurser- 

 ies on the other islands. Seed of a considerably larger number 

 of trees, suitable for various purposes, may also be had from 

 the Division of Forestry by those who desire to grow their own 

 trees. 



This press bulletin has been prepared to answer inquiries that 

 are constantly being made of the Division of Forestry regarding 

 the "best methods to use in tree planting in Hawaii. The direc- 

 tions here given are the result of many years experience on the 

 several islands of the group and will, it is believed, meet most of 

 the more common difficulties.

 present time be supplied in quantity by the Government Nursery.
