some of the large orders now on file. At present we have 
on file orders for over 300,000 trees, those, of course, are to 
be shipped in the seed boxes and transplanted by the appli- 
cants into other boxes and pots after they are received. AA^ith 
the present help it may be impossible to fill all these large 
orders and also keep up the general distribution ; however, 
we will do what we can. , 
Collections for August amounted to $12.30, and for Sep- 
tember $39.25 ; all of which has been deposited with the 
Treasurer as a Government realization. 
Collection and Importation of Seed. 
The two seed men have been collecting around the city 
and on Tantalus. Several pounds of koa seed were collected, 
also about eight pounds of Eucalyptus robusta and other 
Eucalyptus. 
Eroni Mr. Gerrit P. AVilder we have received from Bel- 
gium a package of willow cuttings, also a quantity of seed 
of economic and ornamental plants. These are being taken 
care of in our propagating houses. Several packages of seed 
have also been received from a number of botanic gardens 
in exchange for seed sent from here. 
Makiki Station. 
The principal work at this station has been getting trees 
ready for Arbor Day. A new shed had to be built to hold 
the box shooks from San Erancisco through Eewers & Cooke. 
AVood for 5000 boxes was received cut into lengths ready to 
nail together. The getting of the wood in this shape will be 
a great saving in labor compared with the former plan of 
making boxes out of empty grocery boxes. 
Niiuami Station. 
The man at the station has been moved down to the house 
below the dam and the remainder of the old quarters taken 
down and the wood moved to Makiki. Clearing away vines 
from the trees and looking out for estrays has constituted 
the principal work done. 
Yours respectfully, 
D. Haugiis, 
Eorest Nurseryman.
