serve on July 5, and continue at the rate of 2,000 a week, 
there being about 10,000 more required to complete the 
planting on Reserve C. Should it be decided to fill all the 
orders now on file and at the same time supply the regular 
demand, also have a stock ready for Arbor Day, it will be 
necessary to increase the number of men and also make ar- 
rangements for large supplies of material for boxes and 
benches, etc. Arrangements in connection with the above 
subject ought to be made at once, so that the trees can be 
got ready in time for the planting season, which commences 
about the first of November. A small gooseneck dray for 
carting plants from Makiki and the Nursery is required. At 
present we have two wagons, the large one being too heavy, 
even when empty, for one horse to pull up the valley. The 
small one is only suitable for a very light load. Soil and 
firewood have to be carried up to the station in the valley, 
and a great deal of hauling will have to be done should it be 
decided to fill all the orders now on file. 
The two seed men have been collecting Grevillea robusta and 
Eucalyptus around the city and on Tantalus. 
Makiki Station. 
The three men at the station have spent most of their time 
in transplanting seedlings, weeding and attending to the 
trees, preparing and sterilizing soil, etc. 
Nuuanu Station. 
The man at the station has been clearing away vines from 
the trees and doing other routine work. 
Respectfully, 
DAVID HAUGHS, 
Forest Nurseryman.
