A BIRI>'8-EYE VIKW OF OUR E8TABLI8HM1CNT 



PRACTICALLY ALL GROWERS NOW REALIZE THAT BY 

 FAR THE BEST MATERIAL FOR GREENHOUSE BENCHES IS 



PECKY CYPRESS 



It is like any other cypress except that it looks as though it 

 were full of worm holes, but isn't; it is especially like 

 other cypress in that it has to be open air dried in the 

 south. It is dried until it weighs three pounds to the 

 board foot, or 3,000 pounds to the thousand feet. Conse- 

 quently 10,000 feet will make a minimum car. We can 

 ship from our yards to the central states, or direct from 

 the mills in Louisiana to florists in New England and to 

 growers in the far west, and it is only a question of time 

 when all growers will use it. 



It doesn!t take so very many feet of bench to call for 

 a minimum car of pecky cypress. It comes 1x6 inches 

 and the boards eight to twenty feet long. With about 

 an inch between for drainage, a bench four feet wide 

 will take seven boards, or three and one-half feet lumber 

 measure for each lineal foot of bench. Side pieces bring 

 it up to four and one-half feet. Consequently a minimum 

 car, 10,000 feet of lumber, would suffice for only twenty- 

 two benches 4x100. The average car contains 13,000 to 

 15,000 feet. 



If you don't need a car yourself, get your neigh- 

 bors to club in with you and order a car. ::
