 FRAU KARL DRUSHKI
 GARDEN GROWN ROSE

Tourists passing through Juneau often express surprise at the great variety and perfection of the flowers grown in Alaska as shown in the windows of the Juneau Florist store Those who are fortunate enough to be able to visit the hothouse and gardens, out on the Salmon creek road go away with the knowledge that the people of Juneau can beau tify their homes and grounds with flowers if they are so inclined and willing to put forth the necessary eff fort.
 J. P. Anderson yesterday was show ing a perfect specimen of the Frau Karl Krushki rose which was grown in the garden at the hothouse on a bush two years old. This variety, he .says, although possibly the peer of all white roses, is hardy and with. stands the rigors of Alaskan winters. He has number of bushes which will be ready for planting next spring and it will be surprising if the gar dens of Juneau are not beautified by numerous bushes of the Frau Karl Krushki rose

There was, however, no stone or any

enough to break it.
The glass is the third one t. b"

broken when stones in the street were
struck by machines and hurled against
them.
