IT IS HARD TO 

 "KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS" 



^ 



I 



Seems as if contractors in Greenhouse construction would learn better than to try to "stem the flood." 

 Several have tried in late years to use a cheaper wood than Cypress — and some of them have come to grief. 

 Others have not attained to the prosperity their energy and vigilance would seem to deserve. If they would 

 but use the one specially created and certified long-life wood, Cypress, their experience might be different; but 

 to "buck" Cypress in Greenhouse construction spells disaster to the contractor and ruin to the man who pays 

 for the job. 



To correct a common error it must be said, and now's a good time to say it, that these substitute woods 

 are all cheaper to buy than is "Tank Grade" Cypress. Eeliable greenhouse contractors and supply men use 

 the very 'best product of the Cypress industry. They are not hunting for something "cheap." They buy the 

 best grade of the best lumber for their business. And for such racking employment as ' ' staying put " in a 

 greenhouse, the best is none too good — and is the real cheapest in the long run. 



And Cypress is IT. ' 



Of course you want PECKY CYPEESS, however, for your benches, 

 body — and for such homely uses lasts longer than grades costing more.

Make yourself free with our Cypress Poqket Library, It was printed for you. Vol. 1 treats of Cypress In general, Includ- 

 ing the report of the U. S. Govt, on the uses to which the wood is adapted. Vol. .8 is entitled "The Only Greenhouse 

 Wood;" and Vol. 2 (almost ready) is very Interestingr to the profession, for it treats of "Pecky" Cypress, the kind so 

 much used for benches and standards. They are free for the asking; get busy and ask. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 

 87 is the new Silo Boole
