A Bit. of Information 



Its good to have in a convenient form bits of infor- 

 mation that will help you in making up your mind — 

 and your order — for a greenhouse 



Cypress is furnished in even foot lengths only. For 

 instance a 20 ft. wide house, having roof built with the 

 usual pitch, requires a roof bar 12 feet long, Figure 

 it this way; for every additional 2 ft. of roof bar the 

 widih of house is increased 3 ft. 4 in. Thus a 14 ft. 

 bar would make a house 23 ft. 4 in. wide. This rule 

 applies to all bars up to 20 ft. long. 



Now when you come to buy your materials, its a 

 satisfaction — and a saving — to know that you have an 

 estimate that covers everything, guaranteeing you 

 against series of vexatious delays — those extra expenses 

 that creep up and pull your first year's profits down.

has not only to do with the life of your house, but the life of 

 your plants. Beyond all doubt, decaying wood harbors plant 

 pests. Sappy Cypress is soon decayed Cypress. Sap free (not 

 almost free, but free) Cypress is the most lasting of woods ; then 

 get your materials of a firm you know, knows what sap free is.
