Wattle seeds have been distributed by the Division of Forestry at 
various times, the first being sent out in 1886. While California has 
received the major part of these seeds, thev have also been sent to 
Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Owing to a lack of knowl- 
edge of methods of germinating the seeds, and transplanting the seed- 
lings, few favorable reports have been received from these Government 
distributions outside of California, but it is believed that both the 
golden and black wattles can be grown successfully in the extreme 
southern part of Texas and in Florida.
