CYPRESS BY TEST, 

 SUBSTITUTES BY TALK 



Is there value to you in an endurance test of 45 years in greenhouse sash? It is reported to us that sash made 

 of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Des 

 Plaines, 111., in 1868, are still doings 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 contractor 

 who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 46 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 Cyp];ess record with more talk* and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood-pile." 

 You know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. 



"PECKY" CYPRESS. 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 along time 

 preying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial 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 the disease (known as 'Pecky') .... is 

 believed to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay." 



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



There Is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothinsr else for benches and bench standards. It is cheap, too. 



A postal will do, a letter is better— either br'ngn a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Libiary (a strictly authorita- 

 tive Teferencn work.) Vol. 3 is aU about "GRKKNHOUBB8." It is FKKK. Send for it. Also ask for Vor. 2. on Pecky"— a 

 money-saver. Take no hearsay. GKT THK FACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 36 is the Carpentry Book : Vcl. 20 

 is "All Farm Needs Book." All contain plans for building and are profu^ly illudtrated.
