GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 105.
The following Report from the Superintendent, Botanic and Afforestation Department, is published for general information.
By His Excellency's Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th March, 1882.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary,
SUPERINTENDENT, BOTANIC AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT, TO ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.
BOTANIC GARDEN, 18th April, 1881.
No. 16.
SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report on the Progress and Condition of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1880.
2. The removal from the gardens of plants and shrubs of which the individuals of some kinds were too numerous has been carried on for the benefit and better appearance of those remaining, as well as to make room for newer introductions. Considerable work has also been done in transplanting shrubs and trees which were too crowded or ill placed.
3. Persea Nanmu. Oliv. From the small tree of this valuable timber tree of Yun-nan, which Mr. Watters kindly sent from Ichang, we have procured about half a dozen young plants, by layering. The little tree has succeeded very well in our garden, and if a large stock of it could be obtained it might be a valuable addition to our plantations. I have tried to get seeds or plants from Yun-nan, and correspondents have kindly promised their assistance, but as yet nothing has come to hand.
