Cuthbert raspberries do exceedingly well at Wrciugell and Sitka, the fruit being of fine size and quality. The same is true of strawberries at the sev- eral places where they are cultivated. Attempts have been made at a number of places to cultivate some of the indigenous fruits, and the dewberry or 'knesheneka' (Subus stellatus], wnd currants {Bilies riihnim and S. bracteosum), and the strawberry (Fnifiniia ChiJoen- sis?) have all been domesticated, and their fruit is fully equal, if not superior, to the wild product. Vegetables.— More attempts have been made to grow vegetables than fruits, and some definite data have been obtained, showing what varieties are known to be adapted to Alaskan conditions. Most of these data have been se- cured from Sitka and Wrangell, in the southeastern part of the country, and from the Holy Cross Mission, near Koserefski, on the lower Yukon. A recent report from the latter place states that potatoes of fine quality, weigh- ing \ pounds, and turnips weighing 5J pounds, were grown during the summer of 1898. In addition, notes were given of some of the varieties of vegetables adapted to the region, as follows: Cabbage — Early Jersey Wake- Held, Plat Dutch, and Drumhead ; cauliflower-Early Snowball, Early Dwarf Erfurt; turnips - Early Flat Dutch, Yellow Globe, and Extra Early Milan ; ruta- bagas—Improved American; radish —French Breakfast and Chartier ; onions —Extra Early Red and Yellow Dauvers; lettuce —Golden Heart; peas —American Won- der and Early Alaska; beets-Eclipse and Edmand's Blood Turnip ; carrot—Oxheart; par
