The young trees of Bauhinia variegata between the 11th and
greens flowered well in the spring.
The Bauhinia Blakeana trees near the 9th green made excellent progress during the year and made a good show when in flower in the autumn.
The Hibiscus shrubs along the approach road and at the Ladies' Bungalow were very conspicuous for several months.
Between the 15th and 16th greens, Erythrina Crista-galli showed up well when in flower in April.
Allamandas between the 1st and 2nd, and at the 8th and 9th greens, looked well during the summer.
On the hills east of the 14th tee, Acacias flowered freely in July and August.
The red-leaved Cannas between the 4th and 5th greens made a good show both in and out of flower.
At the 9th, 14th, and 15th fairways, Tithonias made a good display in the autumn.
The Poinsettias were this year again badly damaged by wind, and it has been decided to remove them altogether.
All the fairways of the large course were given a topdressing of good soil, and the worst of them were given a dressing of artificial fertilizer at the rate of five hundredweights to an acre, in addition.
The course was again cleared of all Elephantopus weeds which had made their appearance since last year.
Forestry Service Paths.-These paths in Hongkong and Kowloon were repaired and put in order at the end of the year.
Clearing Undergrowth around Houses.-The clearing of undergrowth for anti-malarial purposes, at the expense of the Government, amounted to about 3,000,000 square feet.
Clearing for Survey Purposes.-In connection with survey and other works, about 4,500,000 square feet were cleared of shrubs, etc., for the Public Works Department. Most of this was done to enable surveys to be made for roads and building sites.
Forestry Licences, New Territories.--The total amount collected in fees amounted to $4,798.02 compared with $4,822.82 in the previous year.
NURSERIES, AGRICULTURE, &c.
Various kinds of vegetables were grown in the Fanling garden so as to enable the Chinese to see which were likely to find a market in Hongkong.
Unfortunately Onion seed from Tenerife was again unobtainable, but it is hoped to get a supply for the 1919 season.
