Similar supplies were made to Warrnambool (M to H. MacDonald, August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-00a), Port Fairy (M to J. Prior, August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-00h), Colac (M to J. McDonald, August 1892 (in this edition as 82-08-00i), Portland (M to J. Crouch, August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-00j), and Bendigo (M to S. Gadd, August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-00k). It is also inferred that he sent some to W. Allitt for his nursery at Tyrendarra; see M to W. Allitt, August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-00l).
