PECKY CYPRESS. 



The advancing cost of the ordinary 

 grades of greenhouse bench lunfber and 

 the desire for something which will not 

 rot out in a couple of seasons have turned 

 the attention of many large growers to 

 pecky cypress, a material which has 

 been on the market for many years but 

 which has been looked at askance be- 

 cause of its apparent imperfections. Bas- 

 sett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., were the 

 first, so far as known, to build green- 

 house benches of pecky cypress but it 

 has now been largely adopted by grow- 

 ers around Chicago. Many of the big 

 growers north of Chicago have for years 

 bought their lumber of the Adam Schillo 

 Lumber Co. and when the demand came 

 for pecky cypress the Schillo Co. was 

 called on to supply it. Last season they 

 sold several car-loads and state that they 

 now have orders for over 300,000 feet 

 for delivery in June, July and August. 

 That sounds like good business but they 

 say they are not particularly pleased. 

 Pecky cypress sells for only a little more 

 than hemlock and lasts four or five times 

 as long. The Schillo Co. says that it 

 will mean that they can sell to their cus- 

 tomerS much less frequently than before 

 and the only way they can hold up the 

 volume of their sales is to hunt up a lot 

 more customers.
