tallest is 22 feet, the next 20 feet the other 2 much shorter but well 

 branched. From 2 of them sprouts or suckers are thrown out from 

 above and below ground. [E. robusta and microtheca]. 



Mr. P. M. Burke, Sav.-la-Mar.-The Eucalyptus plants you sent me are 

 growing well. [E. platyphylla]. 



Mr. W. H. Farquharson, Eetreat. — A few of the Eucalyptus plants 

 are growing nicely, but most of them are dead, they arrived in poor 

 condition, seemed to have had bad treatment somewhere, and I remember 

 well that I did not expect them to do much when I planted them. The 

 ones that are growing are about 2 feet high. [E. melliodora], 



Revd. A. Thomson, Montego Bay. — I beg leave to inform you that 

 the two dozen Eucalyptus shrubs, which you kindly forwarded to me 

 have all been planted throughout my property — " Prospect Hill," and 

 to all appearance, they are doing well. [E. rostrata]. 



Mr. J. Nash, Montego Bay. — Only two of the Eucalyptus plants 

 sent me have grown — These look healthy but grow very slowly. 



Mr. L. C. Shirley, Falmouth. — Four of the Eucalyptus plants are 

 alive and about 5 to 6 feet high; the rest are all dead. [E. microtheca]. 



Mr. J. Shearer, Duncans. — Although the plants were wiry and delicate, 

 a few are thriving very well both at Arcadia and Cave Valley. [E. 

 citriodora]. 



Mr. E. L. Purchas, Dry Harbour. — With the exception of 35 which 

 arrived dead, the Eucalyptus plants received this year are, so far, 

 doing well. 



Mr. L. D. Baker, Port Antonio. — I have to report that all of our 

 Eucalyptus are planted on Bound Brook flat land, a portion of the Bog 

 Estate adjoining the town of Port Antonio where the new Railroad 

 station is being built. This flat land is laid out in a plan as a town, 

 with 50 feet streets, 30 feet of it being the driveway and ten feet on 

 each side of the driveway being sidewalks. We have planted these on 

 the near side to the driveway, so that people walking on the sidewalk, 

 the trees will be between them and the driveway. This land is alluvial 

 deposit, ranging from two to six feet deep, inclined towards the sea. 

 The plants seem to have taken well. We are planting a post near by 

 each one, as a protection and as a support to it, and every care will 

 be taken to make them grow successfully. We would like to have 

 about 200 more when it is convenient for you to give them to us. [E. 

 rostrata]. 



Mr. A. J. Hart, Sav-la-Mar. — I have to report that the Eucalyptus 

 plants received in 1893 are thriving well but those with the small 

 tapering leaves [E. microtheca] grow much quicker here than the 

 other kind [E. robusta] ; a couple trees are about 25 feet in height. 



Mr. R. H. Tomlinson, Lacovia — The Eucalyptus are growing well? 

 four of them have made hardly any growth being still 3 to 4 feet high 

 and very spindling, owing to my planting them in shad}^ places. Of 

 the other 9 plants their dimensions are as follows : — E. robusta 30 ft., 

 16 ft., 101 ft. high. E. citriodora 13£ ft., 9£ ft., 10% ft. high. E. 

 rostrata 24 ft. high. E. microtheca 14J ft, and 10 ft. 



Mr. H. B. Walcott, Richmond. — 1 received the plants from Castle- 

 ton in January of this year. Owing to the very dry weather I lost quite 

 half the number in transplanting. But I have a good number now well
