Cypress a Strong Wood 



Do you know that when it comes to strength — carrying strength, bearing-a-weight strength — Cypress 

 not a weak wood? 



IS 



CYPRESS IS STRONGER THAN ANY SUBSTITUTE LUMBER 



There's no wood now used in greenhouse construction, none that is claimed to be suitable for the work 

 that will carry the weight imposed on sashbars and ridge-pole, with half the stiffness and certainty that Cypress 

 can. Look at the old Cypress greenhouses and note that sashbars are not sagging — they are not like an old 

 * ' sway-backed ' ' horse. 



CYPRESS is not spongy — like other woods we might name. 



CYPEESS is not filled with little pin holes, like other woods we might name (though the immortal "pecky" 

 is, of course, strictly a "holey" wood). 



CYPRESS is not "dozy," like other woods that are being urged as a substitute for it in greenhouse 

 construction. ^

The Market. 



There is little to be said on last 

 week's marl^et conditions. Business 

 was considered good, there being a 

 goodly batch of funeral work and quite 

 a few wedding orders. Roses were in 

 fair supply, but arrived in an open con- 

 dition. Carnations, unfortunately, are 

 on the wane; there always is a good 

 demand for them. The supply of 

 gladioli is increasing slowly but surely. 

 Asters as yet are scarce; those to be 

 had are short-stemmed and small of 

 bloom. Easter lilies are quite suflBcient 

 for the present demand. Water lilies 

 seem to enjoy a greater popularity 

 each year. Under the miscellaneous 

 heading the principal items are corn- 

 flowers, rubrum lilies, snapdragons and 

 coreopsis. Greens of all kinds continue 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



S. A. Anderson last week had a good 

 dull-season window, representing a 

 country summer home. 



William Warring, who is with 

 Scott's, is spending a 10-day vacation 

 at Port Maitland, Nova Scotia. 



John Preisach, of Corfu, has com- 

 pleted rebuilding his greenhouses. He 

 says his young carnation plants are 

 coming along nicely. 



L. Neubeck, Jr., who accidentally 

 cut his arm three weeks ago, is out of 

 the doctor's care. Twelve stitches 

 were required to close the cut. A. E.
