IVY EXCLUDES DAMPNESS. Use of Vine Upon Walls of Building Makes Booms Dryer—E,eason Given by Scientist. "I have of late been very frequently asked, writes a Canadian professor, "about the effect of Boston ivy upon the walls of buildings, some asserting . that the covering of walls with the above named vine caused dampness in the interior. I am convinced that this Idea is a fallacy. It will be conceded by all that, the plant maintains its j growth by the effect of moisture, either | from the ground in which it is planted ■ or from any other source obtainable. I No one will deny but that stone and j brick walls absorb a large quantity of | rainfall, more especially brick. The I vino to obtain a certain amount of ! vitality naturally absorbs the moisture j from the walls of brick or stone, and I ! have yet to learn of any room in any j house becoming damp by the growth of j the vine on the outside. The very op- ; posite must he the result. I would , suggest that no property holder need • be afraid to plant the above named j creeper on his rr her building, for be j assured the interior of the house will ; be drier with the ivy than without.
