Many of the log cabins have cooperators or hot-houses, and so have pretty lawns of green grass, with hedges of beautiful flowers. All have gardens, and nearly every one has a patch of potatoes and turnips. Hedges of sweet peas, the vines of which grow to the height of a man, may wall off a side of a garden, and great beds of poppies line the walks through the center. Nearly every home has a pansy bed, and many have geranium nasturtiums and other brilliant flowers. I have never seen anything like flowers so large, so fresh and of such a velvety texture; and I may add that I have never visited any town where the people seemed to love flowers such as those who have so many for themselves and their friends. The only places that compare with Fairbanks as to its luxuriant vegetation in summer are the towns of southeastern Alaska and Puget Sound region. The short, hot summers of Dame Nature seven-league boots, at you can almost see the grass grow. The arctic poppy is of great size, and the panorama twice as big around silver dollars, our pendants have seen three or four inches long. The panics of Alaska grow to a height eight inches, and in such profusion that wide slayers of many colors make a walk from.  The gate to the front.
