Eight thousand of the above plants were sent to Mr. C. G. 
Owen to be planted on Reserve “C,” Pupukea-Pamaulu Home- 
steads, as follows : 
4,000 Eucalyptus robusta transplanted in boxes ; 
3,063 of same species pot grown ; 
637 Cryptomcria japonica; 
111 Cupressus macrocar pa transplsinted in hoxQS ; 
189 pot grown. 
Ten thousand ironwood plants (Casuarina cquisctifolia) in 
seed boxes were sent to Makaweli plantation, Kauai. Owing to 
careless handling by the steamship people five boxes of the 
seedlings, approximately 5,000 plants, were practically destroyed. 
Manager Baldwin stated in his letter that five of the boxes were 
very much damaged owing to the soil being loosened and the 
trees mixed up every which way. The loss will be made good by 
us without cost to the plantation. Five more boxes will be 
shipped next week. 
SEED COLLECTING. 
The two seed boys have been collecting seed in the city. The 
seed collected being practically Casuarina equisetifolia, C. quadri- 
valis, also the different Cassias. The seeding season for the 
Grcvillca robusta will be on soon and will take up much of the 
time of the collectors as it is rather difficult to gather. 
EXPERIMENT GARDEN, MAKIKI. 
The everblooming Bougainvillea vines ordered by Mr. Alarston 
Campbell have been planted on the two knolls at the lower 
end of Heron Valley, close by the line of the new Tantalus road. 
The number of vines planted being 410. A large number of 
cuttings of the different shades of the Bougainvillea have been 
planted at the nursery and Makiki garden, these will be ready in 
about four months. We are indebted to Mr. Ralph G. E. Forster, 
British Consul, for cuttings of the red variety, to Mr. John Cum- 
mings, Ahipuu, for cuttings of the light brick variety, and to 
Mrs. Chas. McCarthy and others for cuttings of the everbloom- 
ing purple. 
We have received from Mr. J. E. Higgins of the U. S. Ex- 
periment Station seven varieties of the Rattan palm ( Dacmono- 
rops) which will be planted at the Makiki garden.
