The following are taken from

of the territory, but *e only re

E. J. LiJdicoat, Skagway, JAas
kx—I rece'ved your letter asking
^bout the three Champion gooie
berr;- bushes I sent for. Two of
then: <i.!d fine and the other died. I
have two dozen raspberry tushes
pUa?cd and some strawberry plant-*,
which 1 planted last year, and they
yitlded well. This year I expect
thtm to do a great deal better.
K'sie Diliion, Skagway, Alaska—
Your letter of December 30 to hand
and in reply would say I received
your uursery stock. There -were
onlv s of the raspberry bushes that
lived and 3 made from 30 to 3S
inches of wood. The currant bushes
did splendidly. The roses all
bloomed and they were pretty while
i;i bloom, but they did not last
over 24 hours after they were in
bloom. They made about 5 inches
of new wood.
Henry Vermeire, Haines, Alaska
—The 12 apple trees you sent me
all grew pretty well; 2 of then
made a growth of 22 inches. The
rasp Denies all grew aid & out of
l'J of the gooseberry bushes livod.
Th-j 2 basket willows grew over 3
feet. The 25 strawberry plants all
grew and some of them had runners
4 feet loug. The 3 rosebushes did
not grow. I think I planted them
»n too dry ground.
All the vegetable see<Ls you sent
me did fine except the parsnips.
They did not come up at all. I
also planted some other parsnip
seeds and they did not come up
either, but the kohl-rabi, kale,
table beets, and cabbage were very
nice.
We olanted 4 acres of turnips
and rutabagas and we got 1,000
sucks of rutabagas and 300 sacks of
yellow turnips. We planted one
acre of Irish potatoes, from which
we dug 255 sacks of salable po
tatoes. Some of our potatoes
weighed 2% pounds.
We sowed 2 acres of oats mixed
with Canadian peas, which we
cut for hay. We got about 4 % tons

but we hud a very hard tide to

We planted lettuce oa a patch of
groaua 3 by 50 feet. Besides what
| ietuice we used ourselves, we sold
worth to other families. (Let

Juneau.) This lettuce was planted

Tha hogs and cattle and horses
are doing flee. We put up Borne

we wintered five head of live stock.
It aculd mate excellent feed if it
' were not so muddy.
We have sold all our turnips at
1.1 average of $1.25 a sack, and
the rutabagas at $1 peT sack. Our
potatoes we have oa hand yet; also
abuts* 100 sack3 of rutabagas.
H. A. Adams, Haines, Alaska—In
regard to the fruit trees you sent
1 me, they all lived but one apple
tree. They made a growth of 2
feet. The season was very dry,
but for that the trees would have
made > feet. They are all looking
fine and I am well pleased.
This season I will aubirrigate, and
1 tbir.i I can make a better show
! ing. My largo trees were loaded
J with apples, but my raspberries
j were a failure. I think It was
| too dry.
L. McGuire, Haines, Alaska.—1
thought I would let you know how
year seeds did this year, the first
year on my homestead. The yellow
Swedish turnipo grew fine on new
laud without any fertilizer. I
raised about 4 tons of turnips
aud rutabagas, but I think for an
eany market the small yellow
turnip is the best, as it matures in
about six weeks, but where you
have to put them in the root house
the Swedish yellow turnip is the
bwL I had them as large as 8 to
10 pounds perfectly solid. I also
raised about 5 tons of potatoes, the

potatoes were called the Alaska
lieauty.
1 raised 1,000 head or cabbage, '
much better than what 1 have raised
iti Washington. Carrots, parsnips,
peas, and baaus all did fine. 1 also
raised two crops of lettuce, I had
lettuce for the table up to Novem

fact all vegetables do as well here
p-s In tlio Statca, with the exception
of corn. The corn 1 planted this
year did not ripen, but 1 shall try
it agaiu next year.
Aly ranch is 2^ miles west of

I have barn room for about CO head
of stock and a very flue range for
