CYPRESS BY TEST. 

 SUBSTITUTES BY TALK. 



Is there value to yoii in an endurance test of 50 years in greenhouse sash? It is reported to us that 

 sash made of lieart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a 

 greenhouse at Des Plaines, 111., in 1868, are still doing service. 



Jacob Fries, Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on 

 the job. And these are not isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" 

 for greenhouse use. 



It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. 



The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or con- 

 tractor who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 50 years 

 to the credit of the so-called "substitute." 



That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good, ordinary business sense. 



If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood- 

 ]tile." You know you would better i)ass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. 



"PECKY" CYPKESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. 

 The U. S. Govt. Kept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says— "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has 

 been a long time ])reying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from 

 .-illuvial deposits many feet below the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber 

 is pecky, though it has been buried during a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. . . . The 

 effect of tlie disease (known as 'Pecky') ... is believed to act as a preservative . . . and to 

 liinder decay." 



Is 30,000 years' "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUR greenhouse? 



There Is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing c1.«p for benclies and bench standards. It is cheap, too. 



A postal will do, a letter Is better- — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library (a strictly 

 authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 Is all about "GREEN HOI SKS." It is FREE. Send for It. Also ask for Vol. U, on 

 "Pecky' • — a money saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 Is the Barn Book; Vol. 20 is "All 

 Farm Needs Book"; Vol. 36 is the "Carpentry Book." in -whicli a dozen hard jobs of carpentry are made easy, and Vol. 87 

 is the Big, Xew Silo Book. All contain plans for building and are profusely illustrated.

An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Aabeatfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1^5 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 You can't set anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 

 With the scsu-city of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful applicatioo of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, priot 

 12.00. With every barrel purchaM of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
