Memorandum to accompany the Report on the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1901.

C. C. 34160

In the Report of the late Colonial Secretary on the New Territory for the year 1901, Mr. Lockhart, when mentioning the work done by the Botanical and Afforestation Department, states: - "With a view to discovering a more economical mode of raising plants than that of sowing the seeds in nurseries and afterwards transplanting the seedlings, experiments have been made by sowing on the hills in situ. About 98,000 trees were reared in this way."

The writer has, it appears, inadvertently connected broadcast sowings with sowing in prepared patches in situ, the latter being a method which has long passed out of the experimental stage along the new road.
