Rhododendrons on Uncongenial Soil. 
Can you tell me whether Rhododen¬ 
drons and Azaleas (hardy sorts) can be 
successfully grown on our soil? We are 
located in the peach belt of Ottawa Co., 
Ohio, where the soil varies from a yel¬ 
low clay loam to black loam underlaid 
with what is here called “blue mud.” I 
have never seen any Rhododendrons 
either wild or cultivated growing here, 
and would like to know if a small plot 
could be treated in such a way as to 
make the culture of a few specimens pos¬ 
sible. I understand that the limestone 
formation of our soil is not favorable to 
this class of plants, but I should like 
to plant a few if there is any way of 
overcoming this handicap. P. L. V. 
Port Clinton, O. 
Your soil does not sound at all promis¬ 
ing for Rhododendrons, for both lime¬ 
stone and heavy clay are inimical to 
them. Under such conditions a bed must 
be specially prepared for them. Dig a 
place four feet deep; put in one foot 
of gravel and small stones to provide 
drainage, which is hindered by the clay 
subsoil. Fill in with a friable mixture 
of leaf mold and sandy loam. In the 
Fall mulch the bed with forest leaves, 
pine needles or hay. It will be well to 
leave a light mulch on all Summer, un¬ 
til the plants are large enough to shade 
the ground. Set the plants firmly, and 
water thoroughly after planting. Some 
Winter protection would be advisable, 
just enough to prevent drying out when 
bright sunshine is accompanied by low 
temperature and sweeping winds. 
Vines for House and Porch. 
I have dwelling house 50 feet long 
and nine feet to eaves, bungalow style 
and wish to plant vines to cover it to 
eaves. Clinging roses are beautiful but 
must plant other things too, because 
here in Spring we are quite likely to 
find them winter-killed. House has 
shingle sides, three concrete pillars sup¬ 
port porch roof. L. c. N. 
Winterport, Me. 
For a living porch screen, there is 
nothing more satisfactory than the 
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera Ilalle- 
ana) and Clematis paniculata. Hall’s 
honeysuckle is a native of Japan, as is 
also the Clematis named. While the 
honeysuckle is not as showy as the 
Clematis it is nevertheless an admirable 
and very useful vine for porch screening, 
covering fences, trees, etc., and should 
be in every collection. It is a strong and 
rapid grower, and perfectly healthy, and 
might be termed entirely insect proof. 
Its flowers are pure white when first 
opening, changing to yellow as they grow 
older, very free blooming and delight¬ 
fully fragrant. 
Clematis paniculata is considered by 
many the finest hardy vine in cultivation, 
and one of the most valuable ever 
brought from Japan. It blooms in late 
Summer or early Fall, and completely 
covers itself with fleecy white sweet- 
scented flowers in clusters, which are 
succeeded by myriads of silken seed pods, 
that are almost as ornamental as the 
blooms. This grand vine is well worthy 
of a place on any dwelling, no matter 
how pretentious or humble it may be. 
Both these vines will need some kind of 
support. The two-inch mesh poultry 
wire netting is admirably suited for the 
purpose, and for porch screening it may 
be used continuously or in panel sections 
as may suit the fancy of the owner of 
the house. 
For covering buildings, walls and dead 
trees thei’e is nothing among the self- 
clinging vines quite so well suited as the 
Boston ivy, Ampelopsis Veitchi. No 
other climber in cultivation has been so 
extensively used for this purpose. It is 
entirely hardy even in the most exposed 
places, a rapid grower when once well 
established, and will cover the walls of a 
building in a very few years, with a mass 
of overlapping leaves, that is almost im¬ 
penetrable by the sun or rain. It readily 
adapts itself to almost any kind of soil 
or condition. It lends an air of elegance 
and refinement to any building, and en¬ 
hances the beauty of the most intricate 
architectural outlines. No buildings are 
considered too fine to cover with this 
vine, while the most unpretentious and 
unsightly are made picturesque by its 
use. Set the plants close to the founda¬ 
tion of the buildings, three or four feet 
apart. k. 
The Roofing that 
Needs No Painting- 
When you paint the old-fash¬ 
ioned roofings you are practically 
trying lo keep them from getting 
wet. Amatite is made to get wet, 
for water won’t hurt it a bit. 
Next time your old-fashioned roofs 
need painting, cover them with 
Amatite instead. 
A sample of Amatite and book¬ 
let about it will be sent on request. 
Address nearest office. 
'TIEN your roof 
is covered with 
Amatite, there 
is an end to the roof painting 
nuisance. Amatite has a real 
mineral surface and needs no 
painting. 
The mineral surface makes paint¬ 
ing unnecessary and it will stand 
rain and hail and wind and snow, 
for years, without attention.
