FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS 
There are some plants which are 
little seen in this vicinity, although 
they are common in other places 
which have the same general cli- 
matic conditions that prevail here. 
The answer may be found by inquir- 
ing into the soil conditions, that ts, 
soil acidity and drainage. 
Soil Acidity 
Acid soil is soil which does not 
contain much lime. Soil around 
Buffalo is usually a lime soil, and 
some plants will not tolerate this. 
If the soil should contain too much 
lime, this can be remedied by adding 
aluminum sulfate or sulphur to 
make it more acid. In addition peat 
moss may be added which further 
promotes acidity, as well as being a 
valuable soil conditioner. 
Plants which require acid soil: 
Hydrangea Peegee, Rhododendron, 
Azaleas, Flowering Dogwood, Ilex, 
Magnolia, Myrica, Tulip Tree, Oxy- 
dendrum, Cercis, and others. 
Many shrubs while tolerant of 
lime soil will do better in a slightly 
acid soil. Among these are: Aronia, 
Benzoin, Cydonia, Witch Hazel, 
Oaks, and Hemlock. 
Drainage 
There are some plants which defi- 
nitely require good drainage, that 
is, a soul where water does not stand 
in the Winter or in wet weather for 
any length of time. It is safe to 
say that the principal cause of the 
failure of plants to thrive is due to 
inadequate drainage. Where it is 
impossible to have good drainage 
there are a few plants which will 
tolerate wet conditions.
