The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Vines for Porch 
It is with great interest and pleasure 
that I read “Notes from a Maryland Gar¬ 
den.’’ I was especially interested in your 
discussion of a few weeks ago, on which 
vines are most desirable and of the least 
harm when used to decorate porches. I 
am enclosing a picture to show you the 
porches for which I contemplate buying 
vines iti the Spring. The long porch 
(without balcony) is nearer the road than 
the other porch. T had thought of get¬ 
ting a Clematis (white) for the porch 
with balcony, and two Wistaria vines for 
the other porch; one for each side of the 
steps. However, since I have heard that 
the Wistaria is such a very persistent 
grower and does more or less damage to 
buildings, while I know the Clematis vine 
floes not, would you advise me to plant 
blue Clematis vines here, or are there 
other vines also_ desirable, both in beauty 
and 6hade, which are not harmful to 
buildings? m. r. s. 
Ephrata, I’a. 
A plant of Clematis paniculata at 
the corners of the projecting porch will 
be very pretty witli Clematis Jackmani, 
the dark purple variety, which will not 
grow higher than the top of the railing, 
between these and the entrance. On the 
1 ines Will Improve 1 Vail and Porch 
two-story porch there is nothing that will 
be liner than Wistaria Sinensis. It can 
be trained on both lower and upper porch, 
and after it gets established there is noth¬ 
ing finer when in bloom in the early 
Spring. It. takes several years to get a 
plant into good bloom. I have had one 
on my porch for ll! years, and if it has 
done any damage 1 have not discovered it. 
It is lying on the ground now, as it was 
taken down to paint (be dwelling, and 
will soon be tied up again.

Improving the Homestead 
I want your help. My husband swears 
by everything you write. We live right 
by the State road, between two cities. In 
trout ol our house is a long grape arbor 
which for two years has sagged as if soon 
to fall. Back of our chicken houses a 
windstorm blew down the wire fences, 
posts and boards. Two years it has all 
lain flat; no movement to repair or re¬ 
move. Boards and posts have rotted, wire 
fence rusted, the whole grown full of 
weeds and thistles. In other words, I am 
ashamed of my home. I am not able to 
do it, or I would have had it done long 
ago. No need to say we have a mort¬ 
gage. Won’t you please make it the sub¬ 
ject of one of your papers? Mv husband 
has hired help all the while. It‘would not 
take very many hours to remove all that 
rubbish and straighten the arbor in a de- 
i (, cnt way. an old subscriber. 
Now the chances are that most of us 
have one qi* more of such “beauty spots” 
on the farm. Sometimes we can hardly 
tell how they start and grow, and very 
likely we get so used to seeing them that 
we forget they look just like a big pim¬ 
ple right on a man’s nose. Of course you 
know that any man carrying such a 
“star” on his face must take a back seat, 
and is always at a disadvantage. It is 
just so with a farm. It hurts a man’s 
reputation and credit to have such a look¬ 
ing place right in view, and when the 
women and children become ashamed of 
their home it, is no longer a home, but 
just a lamp of civilization that hasn’t 
had the wick trimmed and so has just 
smoked out. This reminds us that we have 
several of these museums on our farm, and 
it also shames us into clearing them up 
before Miss Spring gets a good look at 
them. Let’s all take a day off and clean 
up this trouble.
