Transplanting. 



When the plants have grown to from 2 to 3 inches high they 

 should be transplanted into other boxes and the plants set in 

 lines from 2 to 3 inches apart according to the species, some re- 

 quiring more room than others. Thus the different species of 

 the Iroonwoods (Casuarina) and most of the Eucalypts should 

 be planted about two inches apart, while the Black Wattle 

 (Acacia dccurrens), the Silver Wattle (Acacia dealbata) as 

 well as the Koa (Acacia- koa) and other Acacias should be plant- 

 ed about three inches apart. 



Shade and ornamental trees ought however to be transplanted 

 into pots. Either terra cotta, tin cans, bamboo or ti leaf will do. 

 Forest trees stand transportation better and the percentage of 

 failures during planting is considerably reduced if some kind 

 of pot is used instead of the box system.
