Arrangements  are  being  actively  made  whereby  a large 
number  of  forest  trees  will  be  available  for  free  distribution 
for  Arbor  Day  planting  in  November,  1909,  from  the  Govern- 
ment Nursery  in  Honolulu  and  especially  from  a number  of 
sub-nurseries  and  distributing  points  that  are  being  established 
in  different  parts  of  the  Territory.  A more  definite  statement 
in  regard  to  this  matter  will  be  made  next  month  but  plans 
are  already  well  in  hand  for  this  work. 
During  the  month  labels  giving  the  botanical  and  common 
name  and  the  original  locality  have  been  attached  to  all  the 
trees  in  the  Government  Nursery,  making  the  garden  of 
greater  interest  to  visitors  and  other  persons  desiring  to  know 
about  the  local  flora. 
EXPERIMENTAL  GARDEN  MAKIKI  AND  TANTALUS  FOREST. 
During  the  month  satisfactory  progress  has  been  made  in 
getting  the  experimental  garden  at  Makiki  into  shape  for 
planting.  Much  remains  to  be  done  but  several  of  the  plots 
are  now  practically  ready  for  the  final  planting. 
For  one  day  in  each  week  all  the  available  men  employed 
by  the  Division  of  Forestry  have  been  put  to  work  beating 
down  and  cutting  the  dead  lantana  along  the  main  road  and 
the  trails  through  the  Tantalus  forest.  In  this  way  the  fire 
danger  has  been  materially  reduced.  Arrangements  are  now 
in  hand  for  removing  the  dead  wood  from  this  forest,  an 
operation  which  will  at  once  increase  its  usefulness  and  add  to 
its  beauty.
