8,000 of the above plants were sent to Mr. C. G. Owen to be 
planted on Reserve “C/’ Pupukea-Paumalu Homesteads, as 
follows : 
4,000 Eucalyptus robusta transplanted in boxes ; 
3,063 of same species pot-grown ; 
637 Cryptomeria japonica; 
111 Cupressus macrocarpa transplanted in boxes; 
189 pot-grown. 
Ten thousand ironwood plants (Casuarina cqiiiseti folia) 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 de- 
stroyed. 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 principally Casuarina equisetifolia, C. quadri- 
valis, also the different Cassias. The seeding season for the Gre- 
villea 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. Marston 
Campbell have been planted on the two knolls at the 
lower end of Heron Valley^ close by the line of the new Tan- 
talus road. The number of vines planted being 410. A large 
number of cuttings of the different shades of Bougainvillea 
have been planted at the nursery and Makiki garden ; these 
will be ready in about four months. W e are indebted to Mr. 
Ralph G. E. Forster, British Consul, for cuttings of the red 
variety; to Mr. John Cummings, Ahipuu, for cuttings of the 
light brick variety, and to Mrs. Chas. McCarthy and others for 
cuttings of the everblooming purple. 
We have received from Mr. J. E. Higgins of the U. S. Ex- 
periment Station seven varieties of the Rattan palm (Daeniono- 
rops) which will be planted at the Makiki garden. 
NUUANU STATION. 
The man at the Station has been doing the regular routine
