Alaska's Flowers.

We are at one extreme of climate,
as found in the United States, and
Alaska is at the other. Perhaps it may
interest you to know something of the
floral life of that distant porion of
our country. A correspondent of the
Washington Star writes:
People who have never visited the
Territory of Alaska and are not fa-
mlliar with it's resources and conditions
generally, naturally are a little incred-
ulous when we speak of the soil, the
botanical experiments and conditions
that exist and have existed perhaps
for centuries before this great empire
came under our government.
From time immemorial, since the
first sowing of the seed in this north
land by the hand Of the All-Divine
Planter, the wild flower has borne life
from it's soil and lifted it's graceful head
and beautiful face upturned to the sun
and blue sky, with as much vigor as
any hot house plant or outdoor flower
in California. AS many as I3o varie-
ties of wild flowers have been found
