A 5 TO SHOT 

 "Cypress Wins In a Canter" 



As a straw to show how the wind blows, a recent issue of The Florists' Review carried adver- 

 tisements from the following greenhouse contractors and material men, all of whom recommend 

 CYPRESS in large, black, healthy display type: 



JOHN C. MONINGER CO., Chicago, users of Cypress ("and no substitutes.") ALL CYPRESS. 

 STOKES BROTHERS CO. (Inc.), Philadelphia— specialize in CYPRESS Bench Boards. 

 LOCKLAND LUMBER CO., Lockland, Ohio, shout for "Spot Clear CYPRESS." ■•; 

 SCHNUTE-HOLTMANN CO., Evansville, Ind., announce "Clear Cypress." 

 ADAM SCHILLO LUMBER CO., Chicago, specialize in "PECKY CYPRESS." 



The A. T. Stearns Lumber Co., Neponset, Boston, Mass., while not advertising in this paper, is 

 strong on CYPRESS for sash bars and Hot Bed Sash, with "Pecky" cypress bench lumber. 



Now the joke in this is: No dealer in a "substitute" for CYPRESS mentioned his "cheaper" 

 article. Those who use clear, heart CYPRESS seem to be PROUD OF IT. They are willing to "go 

 before the country" on the standard that all experience in greenhouse construction has set — clear, 

 heart CYPRESS, "and nothing but." 



THERE'S AN ARGUMENT IN THIS SO PLAIN WE DON'T HAVE TO TELL IT. 



There's Profit for You in the Facts— So Plain You're Bound to Go After It. 



How about our free booklets in the CYPRESS POCKET LIBRARY? They're attractive— and 

 chock full of greenhouse "hoss-sense." Vol. 1 is the Government Report on the "wood eternal"; 

 VOL. 3 has the last word on GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION; Vol. 20, "Cypress for All Farm 

 Needs" — it's new; Vol. 36 is the new and interesting book on Home Carpentry; Vol. 37 is the big 

 "Silo Book" — a dandy treatise of the Silo question. A postal will bring you one or a dozen — they're 

 free, absolutely. Write us a letter just for luck and good-fellowship — and as a good business move.

Here is the story: 



Every grower knows to what test the Govern- 

 ment and State experiment stations put their 

 greenhouses. The construction and heating 

 system must be far above the ordinary in order 

 to produce the desired results. The greenhouse 

 on the extreme left was not built by us, but 

 when a new one was wanted we were awarded 

 the contract. This greenhouse (the one in the 

 center) was constructed of the Metropolitan 

 patented iron wall construction. Two years 

 later they needed a third house, and would have 

 none but our construction— that's the one to 

 the right. 



Here is what Dr. J. G. Lipman, Director of 

 the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion, has to say about our work: 



"In so far as I know, the work done by 



you was eminently satisfactory, and I 



, trust that we shall have occasion in 



the future to request your company to 



bid on other work." 



If con tern plating the building of a greenhouse, 

 let us submit plans and prices. We go any- 

 where in the U. S, A.
