PRACTICALLY ALL GROWERS NOW REALIZE THAT BY 

 FAR THE BEST MATERIAL FOR GREENHOUSE BENCHES IS 



PECKY CYPRESS 



any other cypress except that it looks as 

 ?^ere full of worm holes, but isn't; it is 



It is like 

 though it were 



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 thou- 

 sand feet. Consequently 10,000 feet will make a min- 

 imum 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 lum- 

 ber 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 suflfice for 

 only twenty-two benches 4x100. The average car con- 

 tains 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* :: :x
