-«^-- 



That is a safe seneral rule; ia the case of CYPRESS 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 business-like 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 greenhouse is 

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



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

 absolute clteapest, figured by the year of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky" Cypress for certain 

 parts, the wood can not 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 ^vbod," that would do, for the so-called "substitutes" are all cheaper in first cost. BUT MORE 

 EXPENSIVE IN THE END. Do you care? 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 smaU 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 WOOU BEST AD4^>TKI>^FOB GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION."
