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 sai^ 

 made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a green- 

 house 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 huisance 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 45 years 

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



If he would meet the Cypress 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" CYPEESS. 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') lias 

 been a long time preying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from allu- 

 vial 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 decay" long enough for YOUR greenhouse? 



There'l.s no known record of rotten 'Pecky." Use nothing el.se for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too. 



A postaJ win do, a letter Is better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRI3SS Pocket Library (a strictly 

 authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 is all about "GREENHOUSES." It is FREE. Send for it. Also ask for Vol. 2, on 

 "Pecky" — a money-saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE PACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 20 is "All 

 Farm Needs Book"; Vol. 30 is the Carpentry Book, in which a dozen hard jobs of carpentry are made easy; and Vol. 37 is 

 tlie Big New Silo Book, All contain plans for building and are profusely .illustrated.
