Excerpting from an official report, (Hand- book No. 84, August 1897} I offer the follow, ing: Whether it be due to the climate changing through the clearing of many acres of forest, or to improved methods I cannot say, but for several years past excellent veg- etables such as potatoes, cabbages &c. have been grown yearly in the neighborhood of Sitka and Wraugel. Near Sitka there are
many plots nndcr cultivation. I have seen 2 seasons in succession lettuce of several va- rieties, cabbages a yard accross before they began to head and 8 to 10 inches in diameter headed, cauliflower weighing from 10 to 15 pounds 1 early rose and peachblow potatoes ranging from 3 to 30 ounces each, and each hill yielding over half a bucket full; turnips of very large size, and cress, radishes *c. in profusion ; green peas of excellent quality, and beds bordered by gooseberries and currant bushes, producing loads of fruit. My lettuce bed kept me supplied from June to September.
