! FRUITPROGRESS
j _IN_ ALASKA
Washington, L). C., Jan. 25.—
More than 100 varieties of straw
berries now grow in Alaska, ac
cording to the annual report of
Alaska agricultural experimental
stations of the department of ag
riculture. made public here re
cently.
Because of the climalieal con
ditions in Alaska it was a hard
problem at first to get strawber
jries to thrive, but by hybridizing
!cultivated varieties with pollen
from the wild native Alaskan
strawberry of the coast region
splendid results were obtained.
The most remarkable feature
about these hybrid plants is that
they were decidedly more vigor
ous t^an either parent, yielding
more, growing larger and seem
ing suited to almost any climate
in the territory.
Iu connection with the growing
of apples the experts in Alaska
wrote that only trees with crab
apple blood produced fruit. An
apple is being made to hybridize
the crab apple with the ordinary
epting apple in hopes of getting
a fruit that will stand the cli
mate and he acceptable to good
fable use.
