Talks on Cypress 



No. 1 



Every florist should know the various grades of cypress 

 lumber. If you expect to get the best, you ought to find out 

 what the best is. 



When a log is brought into the saw mill it is cut up in 

 several thicknesses and grades. Whatever is free of sap or 

 defects is put in the "tank" grade ; that which has a little 

 sap and a few knots is put in the " Ist and 2d" grade; boards 

 that have sap all over one side, or are unfit for "Ist and 2d," 

 are called "selects"; then comes No. 1 common, No. 2 com- 

 mon, "shop," cull, pecky, etc. 



Only one of these many grades is used for greenhouse 

 material— the "tank" grade. All the lumber that we use 

 is this grade, and to make sure that no sap gets into our 

 material, we have an expert that goes over each board and 

 each sashbar before it is shipped. 



A little sap is found in all grades of cypress, but less is 

 allowed in the tank grade than in any other. You cannot be 

 sure of sap-free material because it is made of "tank" 

 cypress— it must be inspected by someone who knows— before 

 and after it is made up— at the mill. Don't take chances, 

 but get your greenhouse material from people that guarantee 

 the cypress to be free of sap.

 our prices.
