PRECIATE GARDENS
In order to have a successful
garden two things are absolutely
essential; a fertile soil and a fav
orable climate. There are other
requirements, of course, but none
| that cannot be supplied by the
i individual, stated G. W. Gasser,
i former head of the U. S. Exper
! iment Farm near Fairbanks, now
| a member of the Alaska College
faculty. Mr. Gasser, who is rec
ognized as one of the foremost
agriculturists in the Territory, has
just completed a tour of Alaska in
the interests of the college and
left Saturday for /airbanks.
j From Seward to Ketchikan is
an exceedingly long coast-line, Mr.
! Gasser said, and the wealth that
i comes from the waters that have
this coast need not be mentioned
here. However, it is well to note
that the land, also, has produc
ive potentialities. That garden
nroduce of a varied sort can be
grown and is now being grown
in many places along this extend
ed coast-line.
GARDENS EVERYWHERE
i At every city and town visited
| during the last month by Mr. Gas
jser there wrre gardens. Full evi
dence that the soil was product
! ive and the climate favrable.
I Not all gardens looked equally
well. It takes more than enthus
i iasm and a fev; hours every spring
! to grow a good garden. It takes
understanding and persistent hard
; work. But then those are the es
| sentials to success in any line of
I endeavor.
FEW INSECT PESTS
The coast can and should pro
! duce its own common garden veg
i etables. Several with whom Mr.
: Gasser talked, who knew garden
1 ing with understanding, as well
| as with diligence, were making a
i fair profit from their gardens.
Weed eradication is quite diffi
i cult where there is an abundance
of moisture. There is where per
sistent work comes in. Once the
jland becomes infested the task
i is indeed difficult. Insect pests
are not very numerous in Alaska
gardens. However, root maggots
were troublesome in many. This
pest may be controlled by the
proper application of corrosive
subclimate in solution. The col
lege will be glad to supplv the
j necessary information to any who
desire same.
FLOWERS AND I AWNS
Not only good vegetable gardens
were seen, but beautiful flower
gardens and many well kept
; lawns. This is the tourist season.
Mr. Gasser continued, and he.
I perforce, traveled with and, in a
way, saw with the tourists the
' things that attract. Among the
| chief attractions in every town
,were the gardens, the flowers and
the lawns. All are evidence of
, thrift and pride of ownership
i There should be many more
lawns in every town. Grass of
some sort will grow in most any
kind of soil. The native flora is
j rich in shrubs and perennials with
! which to dress the yard. No need
■ for exotic plants.
Hundreds of tourists walk the
! streets of Alaska towns every
summer. Their pleasure is “oui
profit.” Beauty attracts, ugliness
