The Florists' Review

"AND DEPONENT SAITH 

 FURTHER, AS FOLLOWS:" 





Out of a great mass of testimonials in support of the excollent character of Cypress for greenhouse con- 

 struction, we have singled these few for your consideration: 



Arthur Cowee, Gladiolus Specialist, proprietor of "Meadowvale Farm," Berlin, N. Y., writes: "My houses 

 are now ten years old and I have not yet been obliged to spend one dollar in repairing any woodwork, with the 

 exception of some of the posts. My only regret has been that I have not used CYPRESS for the benches, which 

 J think woiuld have been cheaper for me in the end tlian using hemlock, which, of course, with us is very much 

 cheaper per thousand." 



That's the point, CYPRESS literally CHEAPER in the end. Mr. Cowee names the proper system.— 

 FIGURE THE COST BY THE YEAR. 



John C. Moninger Co., Greenhouse Builders, Chicago, say; 'We first began using CYPRESS exclusively 

 for greenhouse construction in 1885, using it previous to that time in conjunction with pine. The green- 

 houses built with clear CYPRESS, free of sap, 21 YEARS AGO, are being used today by their owners and the 

 wood is found perfectly preserved and free of any decay or rot." Ask this prominent concern about the 

 "cheaper" substitutes, and why they won't use them nor attempt to dump inferior values onto their customers. 



The DIngee & Conard Co., Rose Growers, West Grove, Pa., say: "We have used CYPRESS lumber for 

 greenhouse building for many years, and we find that there Is no lumber we can secure so satisfactory for that 

 purpose." Nothing in that about a "cheaper substitute," is there? 



Bobbink & Atkins, Importers, Nurserymen and Florists, Rutherford, N. J., are not backward in coming 

 forward: "We would say that CYPRESS lasts with us from two to three years longer than any other wood 

 for table purposes, and ITS LIFE SEEMS TO BE ENDLESS WHEN USED IN ORDINARY GREENHOUSE 

 CONSrRUCTION. We use CYPRESS solely in our plant tub department." 



Wagner Park Conservatories, Sidney, Ohio, rise to remark: "We use NOTHING BUT CYPRESS in the 

 construction of our greenhouses, as we find it the most economical, on account of it outlasting other kinds of 

 wood." No comfort there for the "substitute" lumbers. 



Bassett & Washburn, Growers and Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers, Chicago, testify: 



"We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock lasted only about four years, while so 

 far, we have had no 'Pecky' CYPRE^SS rot out In 10 or 12 years. We use clear CYPRESS for all our roof work, 

 ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose." No*t 

 bad, is it? 



" 'PECKY ' CYPRESS FOR THE BENCH ES—NOTHI NQ BUT!"

We Erected the Greenhouses in 

 Prospect Park (Brooklyn, N. Y.) 

 At Top-Notch Speed 



This illustration sliows the second step in con- 

 ^t'uctine the new greenhouses in Prospect 

 Park. Erectin? the superstructure and iron 

 work took us two weeks. 



A sufficient number of men were put on 

 the job to bring the work to an early com- 

 pletion. All were working in gangs— the 

 masons, iron workers and carpenters. 

 La.ving the foundation, erecting the walls 

 aud putting up the superstructure and 

 iron work took four weeks. That's speed.
