Referring to the conversation of

the plan by which l ran the Informa-
ton Bureau It was planned to insert
in about fifty of the most prominent
dailies throughout the States an adj
vertisement worded something in the
following manner: Full and reliable
information concerning the commercial
and other conditions in the Territory
of Hawaii. Positions sought and ac-
commodations arranged. Enclose one
dollar for reply hnlarging upon this
idea, l thought of inserting a similar
advertisement in country papers. By
this means the farming population
would be reached. The vast majority
of these papers are patent sheet and
the expense would be small compared
with that of the dailies, and the num-
her of people reached very large. At
the head of the paragraph a cut of
so-ae historic or scenic place might be
inserted. Blocks could be prepared at
a nominal cost and changed from one
paper to the other, as often as deemed
necessary by the manager of the bu-
reau.
Special rates could l believe be made
with hotels and boarding houses for
such persons as might be induced to
visit the Islands through the agency"

ing a cash balance of $227.40. The report
concluded with the following remarks:
1T is with pleasure that your commit
tee calls the attention of the assoc
citation to the decided returns received
in some quarters from the fair. In
several lines there were sales made at
the fair pavilion more than covering
the entire cost of the display and gen.
eral trade throughout the city received
an impetus, and we believe that the
results will warrant the regular estab
lishment of an industrial, mercantile
and agricultural fair which, if made
broad in scope. would be of general
value to the Islands, and could be made
of sufficient attraction to draw visitors
from the Mainland.
1T is but fitting in closing this re-
port to express on behalf of the assoc
ton, our thanks and appreciation for
the work done by the press of the
Islands, not alone the newspapers of

where with careful attention good re-
suits can be attained.
1t is best not to grow too many kinds
of flowers. Roses, carna tions and lilies
are so difficult to grow that it is best
not to try them in a school garden.
There are a few ANIMALS that can be
selected which will come into bloom
early and give good results for the
young grower.
The following is a short list of some
good kinds of flowers to try in the
school garden: Nasturtiums, asters,
balsams, daisies, centaureas, calliopsis,
cosmos, dahlias, sunf1owers, pinks, pop
pies, marigolds, phlox, scabiosa, zinnias,
pansies, cannas, geraniums, chrysan-
themums. poinsettias.
The last three are usually produced
by cuttings instead of seed.
