Needs 
No Painting 
N O practical man who has had 
experience with painted roof¬ 
ings will continue to use them 
when he realizes that he can get a 
roofing which needs no painting 
whatever. 
Many users of roofing have 
abandoned the “painted kind” and 
adopted Amatite exclusively. As 
their old painted roofings wear out 
they are replacing them with 
Amatite. 
In fact, it is cheaper in the long 
run to lay a new Amatite roof over 
the painted roofing than it is to 
keep such roofings painted. 
Amatite is sold in the usual handy 
rolls and is applied like any other 
ready roofing. Nails and cement 
packed in the center of each roll 
without extra charge. 
Booklet and sample free on request.

Roses Lack Foliage. 
Our rose bushes lack foliage; can you 
tell us anything to correct the fault? 
We take very good care of them and they 
bloom very freely, but are very bare of 
foliage. They are all of the everbloom- 
ing varieties and are very choice. Lack 
of leaves has troubled us all the season. 
Salem, N. J. c . h. p. 
This inquiry is too indefinite to give 
a satisfactory answer. Some roses, ex¬ 
cellent in other respects, are naturally 
weak in foliage, and any shock or dis¬ 
advantage increases the trouble. We are 
not told whether the roses in question 
failed to make fresh growth, or whether 
they lost foliage after planting. As they 
are everblooming sorts, they were prob 
ably greenhouse grown with rather soft 
foliage, when planted out, and loss of 
foliage often occurs at such a time, while 
the arid season may have affected them 
still more. Black spot and mildew, both 
of which have been prevalent during the 
past season, would also induce loss of 
foliage. As we infer, from this lack of 
leaf, that they have not made a strong 
growth, we would give them a little ex¬ 
tra care during Winter. Late in the 
Fall give them a good mulch of short 
well-rotted manure, and protect them 
further as soon as the ground freezes, at 
about the time you would cover straw¬ 
berries. A covering of dry leaves, held 
in place by a few branches, is usually 
satisfactory. Be sure that their situa¬ 
tion is well drained; roses suffer severely 
from water at the root during Winter, 
and it is also detrimental to put them 
in some location where surface ice will 
lie over them. 
Shasta Daisy for Cut Flowers. 
On page 1065 in an article on peren¬ 
nials, reference is made to the Shasta 
daisy. We wish to state what can be 
done with the Alaska Shasta daisy. We 
sowed seed of this type the first week 
of April last in flats; the last week of 
May same seedlings being very small, 
were transplanted into the field and cul¬ 
tivated twice weekly, with the result that 
by July last we were and are still (Sept. 
27) cutting daisies for the market. These 
plants grew to more than double the size 
attained any previous year when seed 
had been sown as suggested on page 1065.

AN EXPERT ON PEONIES. 
The president of the American Peony 
Society, Bertrand IT. Farr, of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, gives, in the Florists’ Exchange, 
the following list of peonies for home 
planting: Festiva Maxima, white; 
Couronne d’Or, late white; Marie Le- 
moine, very late white; Mons. Jules Elie, 
early pink; Sarah Bernhardt, Mme. 
Forel, midseason; Richardson’s Grandi- 
flora. very late pink; dark crimson, Geo. 
Washington, early; Delachei, Prince de 
Talindyke, Karl Rosenfield, Felix 
Crousse, midseason. Some of the single 
and Japanese varieties are especially dec¬ 
orative for lawns. Among the best are: 
Stanley, single crimson; Albiflora, The 
Bride, or La Fiancee, white. Japanese: 
"W bite Lady or Queen Alexandra, white; 
Flashlight, Mikado, King of England, 
crimson ; Kame-no-kegoromo, pink. 
Regarding culture, President Farr 
says that peonies will grow in any good 
soil, but the largest flowers and strongest 
colors are produced in a good clay loam. 
They seem to thrive better in a high, 
well-drained situation than in low land. 
The best preparation of the soil is to 
have it well manured and sown in clover 
or grass a year or two in advance of the 
peony planting. It will then not be nec¬ 
essary to use any fresh stable manure 
which, unless applied carefully, is apt 
to be injurious. 
The best time to plant them is from 
the middle of September to the middle of 
October, which allows the plants to make 
root growth before Winter sets in, but 
plantiug can safely be done at any time 
in the Fall before the ground freezes 
permanently; or early in the Spring un¬ 
til growth is too far advanced. 
Fcfr commercial purposes, where 
blooms are to be stored, only soft bud¬ 
ded varieties which open easily should 
be used. The hard, compact budded va¬ 
rieties do not open well after being cut 
and must be cut in a further advanced 
stage. 
Mrs. Tiredout: “Sam here was 
looking over a Patent-Medicine 
Almanac last night and he thinks 
he’s got all the complaints he 
read about, except Housemaids’ 
Knee. He might have that, too, 
if he spent the time I do scrub¬ 
bing and trying to keep clean. 
Just look at my knuckles from 
drubbing up and down over the 
washboard.” 
Anty Drudge: “No need for your 
knuckles or knees, either, to be 
sore. If you get a box of 
Fels-Naptha Soap, and use it 
in cool or lukewarm water for 
washing and all your work, 
you’ll be rested and soon feel 
strong.” 
What part of the 
housework do you 
dread most? Hit’s 
scouring pots and 
pans, scrubbing 
floors, doing the 
weekly wash---no 
matter what it is, 
your work can be 
cut in half and 
madepleasant and 
easy if you will use 
Fels-Naptha Soap 
in cool or luke¬ 
warm water. 
Fels-Naptha dis¬ 
solves grease, makes 
dirt disappear, takes 
out all kinds of stains. 
No hard rubbing or 
boiling of clothes is 
needed if Fels-Naptha 
Soap is used.

wrapper. 
Better buy it by the carton or box.

Lightning Never Damaged a 
Building Roofed with 
Kanneberg 
Steel Shingles 
"We Pay the Freight ** 
Many buildings are burned by lightning, 
but never one protected by Kanneberg 
Steel Shingles. They are weather-proof, 
heat and cold-proof, perfectly embossed 
and make a handsome as well as the most 
economical roof you can buy. 
You can lay them quicker than wood 
shingles and they last longer, look better 
ml the time, and cost nothing for repairs. 
They do not rot, curl, crack nor fall off 
like wood or slate. Many Kanneberg roofs 
are still in service after 15 or 20 years. Our 
patent lock joint is absolutely water-tight 
and allows for expansion; nail heads are 
protected from the weather. We supply 
special nails, free. 
Kanneberg Shingles are full 28 gauge 
steel, galvanized or painted, and come 
singly, eight to a sheet, or in clusters on 
one sheet 5 ft. x 2 ft. Every shingle is 
backed by a money-back guaranty to 
measure up to sample.
