INFERIORITY

That is a safe general rule; in the case of CYPBESS as THE Greenhouse Lumber it is an absolute 

 truism. Small wonder that those who urge the "substitute" have but the one cry, "cheaper." But the 

 substitute is NOT "cheaper," except as to initial cost. 



The only businesslike way to figure material costs in Greenhouse building is BY THE YEAR. 



There's nothing consolingly "cheap" about repair and replacement bills. The truly cheapest -green- 

 house is the one that shows the least totals — at the end of a term of years — first cost and up-keep together. 



By that rule CYPBESS for greenhouse construction has all other woods beaten at the start. It is the 

 absolute cheapest, figured by the years of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky" Cypress for cer- 

 tain parts, the wood cannot be substituted by any other material ever grown or made. Talk of a "substitute" 

 is worse than bosh. It is not quite square. If contractors would say: "We can build you a greenhouse of 

 cheaper wood," that would do, for the so-called "substitutes" are all cheaper in first cost. BUT MOEE EX- 

 PENSIVE IN THE END. Do you caret You bet you do — you're a business man as well as a flower grower. 

 "The Building Age," August, 1912, issue, page 409, in specifications for a small greenhouse, says: "These 

 timbers should be made of Cypress, for on account of its straight grain, strength and durability, this has been 

 found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOB QBEENHOUSE CONSTEUOTION. "
