The Florists' Review 



Mat 6, 1920 



MR. QREENHOUSE MAN, if a contractor tells you frankly, "That kind of lumber will rot too soon, 

 I would rather use Cypress," he is worth dealing with. Trust his judgment, his experience and 

 his honesty. Give him the order. 



BIR. OBEENHOUSE MAN, if a contractor says to you, *i Cypress will cost you more to begin with than 

 some 'suhstitute' wood, but it will be CHEAPEE for you if you figure your building costs BY 

 THE YEAR," listen to him. He is speaking from experience, and YOU will do well to PROFIT 

 by his experience, and the experience of the greenhouse trade as a whole. 



MR. OBEENHOUSE MAN, CYPRESs\^is the one "natural-born greenhouse wood"— that is as thoroughly 

 established as is the succession of days and nights. The thousands and thousands of owners who 

 have tested it out and have profited by its marvelous endurance and corresponding freedom from 

 repair and replacement biUs, make a case that CANNOT BE DISPROVED. Don't let any one 

 talk you out of Cypress. 



THAT BEING THE FACT, THE REASONABLE CONCLUSION IS: ANY OTHER WOOD THAN 

 CYPRESS FOR GREENHOUSE WORK IS "A SUBSTITUTE" FOR THE PROVEX BEST. CY- 

 PEESS IS THE BEST— NO ARGUMENT POSSIBLE ON THAT POINT.
