Each question as received will be given a number, the question- 

 er's name will not be published, but the source of the ansvfer will 

 be given unless otherwise requested. 



We all have something we would like to know more about. Here 

 is your opportunity to ascertain somebody's experience :n just that 

 nulller. 



Nothing will tend to better fellowship than helping each other. 



lake advantage of this "Question Box." 



Has any reader of the Chronicle ever grown the 

 Princess of Wales Violet or any other single flowering 

 kind in a cold frame successfully? If so, would they 

 please give their methods? — S L., Penn. 



There is a wet place in one of our roads, which we 

 cannot seem to repair. Can you suggest the cause and 

 remedy? — H. C, Conn. 



Undduhtedly there is a spriiiL; Imlc or soniethini,' of 

 the .sort which is causing tlie trouble. The only and 

 l)est way to remed\' such a condition is to dit; u]) the 

 road where you notice the moisture; dig down until 

 you are sure that xou are at the seat of the trouble; 

 then la ya tile drain to your catch basin line. If yoti do 

 not have catch basins, run tiie tile otit to where it will 

 gixe _\i)U no trouble. In hlliuL;' up the hole use plenty 

 of rock and sand; tiie sand must be clean and free of 

 all organic matter, for if it is not it will cause the road 

 to settle. — \\'. W. ."^niith. 



How is run-of-the-crusher, for road building? — H. C, 

 Conn. 



Run of tlie crusher is \ cry good if it does not contain 

 too much fine powder. es[)ecially for a middle or top 

 layer of macadam roads. Vou have a ver_y good bind- 

 ing material here, and it often is cjuite a saving, as it is 

 mucli chea])er than No 1 or 2 stones, and answers the 

 purpose just s well. — W. \V. Smith.
