First Aid For Ailing Homes.

« By ROGER C. WHITMAN STORMY SPRAY QUESTION: The north side of eur attic has. an air vent louver high up near the peak. When- ever there is a windy rain or snow storm, spray comes in. How can I prevent this before enough collects so that it may work down and affect the ceiling underneath? That is, there. will

be a ceiling when my husband’ planning:

You can pull the cover closed: during storms, and open - afterward. ‘But if this is too _™much, cover the affected area with a layer of heavyweight aluminum foil. With luck, the greater part of any spray should evaporate within a day or two.

ANSWER: If you ean remove the nails’ and washers fasten- ing the edges of the overlapping

‘Search For New, Different Shrubs.

The search for new and — dif- ferent shrubs is: more ip Ean ing now than it-was a few years lago,: for nurserymen—all over Canada, -eneouraged by the, de- mands of the- gardening public, are including more and more new kinds in their ¢éatalogues each year. Records taken in the Test Garden of the Plant. Re- search Institute, where many of these. plants are being tried out, show that a large number rate very highly. and are recom- mended -for growing in all parts of Canada.

Of. all the new plants tested the largest group-is the Syringa or lilacs: Many of these come from -Western .Canada, some from Ontario, and some from New Hampshire.’ The’ most spectacular is Frank * Patterson with huge blooms of deep purple

-|This variety has been under test

in the Ornamental grounds with the other lilacs. James Mac- Farlane is'a new Preston type, heralded as one of the best true

WORTH ATTENTION

Two newer spireas are vocihy of attention. One of these is compact form of the crane spirea (Spiraea arguta. ‘Com- pacta’), which forms a compact mound about three .feét high and wide and is covered in mid- May with festoons of white flo- wers. It is a good background plant for tulips and excellent as an unclipped floral hedge. The other‘is Swan Lake, a more flori- ferous, compact, dwarf form. of the three-lobed spirea (Spiraea trilobata). It blooms three weeks later than the Garland and has a similar floral effect.

Many of us are already a- ware of the early spring beauty of the dwarf Russian almond (Prunus tenella), with {ts beau- tiful‘rosy pink flowers produced at the same time as the yellow forsytliia. Firehill is an impro- ved variety of this almond, with bright fiery-red flowers, a much and more erect habit, anand green willowlike foliage.

“When it becomes more com-— monly available the ‘Annabelle’ snow. whill - hydrangea «(Hydran- gea’ arborescens _ ‘Annabelle’) is going to be planted in most | gardens to replace the more straggly type from which it ori- ginated.
