N 14
Around the hill where the Ladies' Bungalow stands Hibiscus Lambertianus was in flower for the greater part of the year.
Hydrangeas near the first green flowered fairly well.
Near the ninth and tenth greens Mussaendas made good progress and furnished abundance of flower well into the autumn.
A bed of Lilium longiflorum was planted near the first green in October.
The broad-leaved trees which were planted near the Club House and on the hills near the Relief Course made satisfactory growth.
Flowering Trees and Shrubs.-A list of flowering trees and shrubs planted during the year and the localities in which they were planted is given in Table IV.
Many of those planted in previous years now make a good show when in flower and it is satisfactory to know that this work of the Department is highly appreciated by residents and visitors alike.
Forestry Service Paths. The paths in Hongkong and Kowloon were repaired at the end of the summer.
The ride through the Little Hongkong woods was also put in order but it does not appear to be much used at present.
The path leading up to the Ukau tin waterfall, which had become more or less overgrown, was cleared and repaired.
Clearing Undergrowth around Houses.-Over 6,000,000 square feet were cleared for anti-malarial purposes in Hongkong, Kowloon and the New Territories.
The areas cleared included those around the Police Stations at Kennedy Town, Aberdeen, Stanley, Mt. Gough, The Peak, Kowloon and Taipo.
No clearing was done for the Military Authorities during the year.
Clearing for Survey Purposes.-About 700,000 square feet were cleared for the Public Works Department in connection with surveys.
Tracks were also cleared for Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs, at their expense, to enable them to make surveys for the proposed tramline between Wongneichong and Little Hongkong.
