K.uuninzoo In the matter of growing
celery. Naturo has peculiarly fitted
the soil for Its production. Th?
stalks gro v largo und crisp, and
bring tho highest market price.
Visitors to Skagway, which Include
tourists from all over the world,
uro a unit In acknowledging the sn
per.ority of our celery to that taken
from any gardei In the world.
What Is true of colery Is likewise
t*uo of cauliflower, lettuce, and cab
bage. One trouble with Skagway Is
that most of her residents are, or
havo been miners, and the mining
thought Is uppermost. Wo get ex
cited over th mention of a dinky
fold stringer, while thousands of lol
l.\rs are overlooked In this valley
through neglect to cultivate the soil.
Ono hundred acres in tho Skag
