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 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 

 contractor who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 

 or 45 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 testj 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. Rept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the 

 'peck') has been a long 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 pre- 

 servative . . . and to hinder decay." 



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



There Is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches 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 »11 about "GREENHOUSES." It is FREE. Send for It. Also ask for Vol. 2, on 

 •Pecky" — a money-saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 86 is the Car- 

 pentry Book; Vol. 20 Is "All Farm Needs Book"; Vol. 36 is the "Carpentry Book," in which a dozen hard jobs of carpentry 

 are made easy, and Vol. 87 Is the Big, New SUo Book. All contain plans for building and are profusely illustrated.
