Distribution of Plants — Arbor Day. 
All of this month was devoted to packing up and sending 
out trees for Arbor Day. About 400 people made applica- 
tion for trees, the majority of applications coming from the 
Island of Oahu and principally the neighborhood of Hono- 
lulu. The total number of plants distributed for this pur- 
pose was 8071, all of which were pot-grown. 
In addition to the regular Arbor Day distribution, 2000 
pot-grown Casuarina quadrivalvis were sent to the Ewa Road 
Board for use along the roads of that district. Other smaller 
orders were filled. 
The sum of $21.50 was collected, and the same has been de- 
posited with the Treasurer as a realization. The number of 
plants sold being 10,000 in seed boxes, 150 in boxes trans- 
planted, 213 pot-grown; total sold 10,363. The number of 
plants given gratis, including those distributed for Arbor 
Day purposes, amounted to 10,071, all of which were pot- 
grown plants.
