Lawn L - Porting Yard: see separate report. The carpenter 
completed a new wooden framework for the glass on one side 
of the lower glass-house; this house still needs the other 
side treated similarly, and the upper house also needs 
attention. 
Lawn 0 - Grass cut. Flower beds maintained as usual. A young 
tree of pale pink Lagers troemia was pruned of all leafy 
shoots on Dec. 1st, as an experiment, and began to flower 
on Feb. 11th. As soon as the flowering is completed the 
pruning will be repeated; if the same result follows, it 
should be possible to make such trees flower three times 
a year Instead of once in 9 months as at present. 
Lawn P - Vegetable Gardens (separate report). 
Lawn Q - Aroid rockery; swept and weeded as necessary. Shrubs 
of nranthemum nervosum under the Terrainalia subspathula ta

so as not to hide the buttresses at the base of the tree.

9 . Special Propagation . 
The propagation of Gannas from seed continued, and a number 
of seedlings were potted off. Six more seedling Bougainvilleas 
flowered, but none of these were good enough to be worth keep- 
ing. Hand pollination of Bougainvilleas, made duriiig dry 
weather in January, failed to produce any seeds; more will be 
attempted. Towards the end of the month a start was made in 
grafting some of the weaker varieties of Hibiscus on stocks which 
have been prepared; this work will continue, and further trials 
in grafting BougainvUleae nre intended.
