October 26, 1910. -j 



more variable height than is giganteum. 

 Some may grow no more than eighteen 

 inches in height, but the general run 

 will vary from three to five feet. It ■ 

 carries occasionally only one and two 

 flowers per stalk, but frequently has 

 twelve to fifteen or even more flowers. 

 It is a much better lily for cutting than 

 giganteum, but giganteum, being a 

 dwarf, is usually preferred as a pot 

 plant. C. W. 



"THE VACCINATED WOOD." 



"Homely but honest" is the descrip- 

 tion of pecky cypress in a new book- 

 let on pecky cypress issued by the 

 Southern Cypress Manufacturers' Asso- 

 ciation. The enduring qualities of this 

 now favorite greenhouse bench material 

 have resulted in its being called "the 

 vaccinated wood," also "the eternalest 

 part of the 'wood eternal.' " The 

 booklet quotes . from Dr. von Schrenk, 

 who says: 



"The uses to which pecky cypress 

 can be put are so numerous that it is 

 possible in a brief paper to give only 

 a few of the most important uses of 

 this extremely valuable material. As 

 stated before, pecky cypress, to one 

 who does not know it, at flrst sight 

 looks like a joke. The writer had a 

 carpenter some years ago who refused 

 to put pecky cypress in a greenhouse 

 bench, as he feared his professional 

 reputation would thereby suffer. Every 

 now and then he comes and looks at 

 the bench, and his surprise increases 

 from year to year when he flnds it in 

 as good condition as it was the day he 

 put it in."
