Why hesitate one minute? 



Your commonsense tells you to get the roofing made of Trinidad Lake 

 asphalt. Nature gives it water-proofing qualities that man has never equalled. 



Genasco 



Ready Roofing 



is made of Trinidad Lake asphalt. There are no secret materials in it. There's 

 wool-felt for foundation, and mineral surface (on some) for finish. The Trinidad 

 Lake asphalt is the life and backbone. It prevents cracks and breaks ; does away 

 with leaks and repairs, and makes Genasco last longer than any other roofing. 



Write for the Good Roof Guide Book, and find out more about Genasco; get samples too. Mineral or smooth 

 surface. Look for the trade-mark at your dealer's, and insist on Genasco. A written guarantee — if you want it.

A spray of Clerodendron Tliompsonae, showing tie 

 scarlet, spreading corolla: white, bag-like calyx; 

 long, protuding stamens 



blossoms, the vine being almost covered with 

 flowers. The panicles are from five to eight inches 

 long. 



The main flowering season lasts about six weeks, 

 beginning here in April, but there are a few blos- 

 soms on well-grown plants nearly all the time. 



The plant shown in the picture is only four years 

 old. The Clcrodendron grows so quickly that 

 well-rooted cuttings will attain a height of ten or 

 fifteen feet in one season. 



The Clerodendron will stand a light frost. If 

 frozen down, strong plants will sprout from the 

 root and make a growth of twelve or fifteen feet as 

 far north as Macon, Ga., provided the roots have 

 been protected by a heavy mulch of coarse stable 

 manure. 



The vine is evergreen, woody, and a twiner. It 

 blooms on the new wood.
