VEGETABLE RAISING A SUCCESS
The following letters were written
to Prof. G. G. Gcorgeson, in charge of
the government experimental stations!
in Alaska, and appear in his annual
report, just issued:
C. K Burr, Seward, Alaska.—I used'
tilt* white hellebore, as you instructed,;
with good results. I had the finest
radishes in the country: also raised the
best beets, carrots, ami parsnips, also
line rutabagas. Some of my carrots
w eighed l pound each, and some of the
beets weighed 2$ pounds with the
leaves on. Lettuce and endive did not
do so well: th^ lettuce was attacked in i
all stages of growth Pv a soft, yellow-1
ish-brown colored fungus w hich starts j
a girdle around the root against thei
lower leaves, and cuts the head from :
the root of the larger plants, and Kills ;
the smaller i hints, decaying the center I
and root, and leaving the leaves green
at the outer ends. I do not know’ what!
x . j
ails it, so please advise me what it is, |
and the treatment; also how to avoid j
or protect tlie plants from disease. It j
seems to make no difference as to
whether tne season is dry or w’et, it is
just the same, and l have shifted the
lettuce patch all over the garden.
I succeeded in ripening five potato
balls this season, the first 1 have ever
seen in the country. The first bail
was fully ripe the first week in Sep
tember, and the other four* were ripe
the second week of September. 1 am
carefully preserving them in separate!
bunches to experiment further with .
them next summer.
Peter Murray, Knik, Alaska.—I re
ceived the apple trees you sent me, ,
also the raspberry and currant plants;
they arrived iu good condition. I ;
sprouted the apple trees.sothat I could
set them out on April 29. They made
a splendid growth, attaining a height
of 32 inches.
The currants and raspberries came
later. Three of each kind did well,
but the other three died out.

American rail
roads are the fastest
and safest in the world.
The American trainman
counts his time in seconds.
Foreign railroad men carry no
such watch as the HOWARD.
Official inspection of railroad
watches exists in no other country.
HOWARD Railroad Watches (/erer
setting) arc officially certified and adopted
by the time inspectors of one hundred and
forty of the leading railroads of America.
Better than that, their daily performance
is finer, more accurate than the most exact
ing railroad requirements.
. The balance-wheel of the HOWARD
y Watch is made of special hard-tempered
steel—will not knock out of true with the
jar and vibration of railroad service.
• Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—railroad models $50 to $140—and a
printed price-ticket attached.
We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. ^
