CYPRESS BY TEST. 

 SUBSTITUTES BY TALK. 



Is there value to you In an endurance test of 45 years In greenhouse sash? It Is reported to us that sash made 

 of heart Cypress by a prominent .greenhouse contractor In Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Des 

 Plalnes, 111., in 1868, are still doing service. 



Jacob Fries, Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on the job. 

 And these are not Isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" for greenhouse use. 



It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. 



The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contractor who 

 wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 45 years to the credit of the 

 so-called "substitute." 



That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good ordinary business sense. 



If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood-pile." You 

 know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. 



"PECKY" CYPRESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon It lasts. The U. S. 

 Govt. Kept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the "peck") has been a long time prey- 

 ing upon Cypress timber Is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below 

 the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber is pecky, though it has been buried during 

 a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. ... The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... Is believed 

 to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay." 



Is 30,000 years "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUR greenhouse? 



There is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too. 



A postal will do, a letter is better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library 

 (a strictly authoritative reference work.) Vol. 3 is all about "GREENHOUSES." It Is FREE. Send for It. Also 

 ask for Vol. 2, on "Pecky" — a money-saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT.
