Plant Sales.
22. Improvements in the nursery have, besides being of much advantage to the Gardens, enabled better and more work to be done in providing plants for the Public. 2,307 plants were sold, the amount realised for them and some seeds being $612.57. There are increases of, in plants 423, and in money $268.80 over the sales of the preceding year.
23. It will be remembered that the Gardens do not derive any benefit from the sale of plants, the receipts being paid into the Treasury and not credited to this department, nor is it designed that the Government should derive benefit from the transactions, those who benefit being the Public only; it is calculated that the prices charged for plants shall be about the cost of their propagation and cultiva- tion only.
Loan of Plants for Decoration.
24. Not quite so many plants were applied for as in the previous year. The number of applicants was 16 as against 19 in 1891, and the plants lent 1,688 as against 2,746 in the previous year.
