INFERIORITY

That is a safe general 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 businesslike 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 up-keep together. 



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

 absolute cheapest, figured by the year of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky " Cypress for cer- 

 tain parts, the wood cannot 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 wood," that would oo, for ttie 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 small greeuhouse says : " These tim- 

 bers should be made of Cypress, for, on account of its straight grain, strength and durability, this has been 

 found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOR GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION."
