MANY USES FOR CYPRESS. 



Cypress, generally conceded to be the 

 best of all woods used in greenhouse 

 construction, is put to almost every use 

 as an interior trim for dwellings. It 

 may be finished in natural color or 

 stained. The wood contains little resin 

 and thus affords a good surface for 

 paint, which it holds well. It is much 

 used for door frames, window frames, 

 transoms, ceiling, wainscoting, panels, 

 doors, sashes, balusters, inside blinds, 

 brackets, newel posts, grilles, mantels, 

 and, to some extent, for flooring. It 

 is a popular wood for kitchens, whero 

 it is subjected to dampness and heat. 

 It shrinks, swells or warps but little, 

 and is used for drain-boards, sinks, 

 kitchen and pantry tables, cupboards 

 and kitchen cabinets. For the same 

 reason it is used for bread-boards and 

 wooden implements about the pantry, 

 ironing boards and clothes driers. 



For the parts of houses exposed to 

 the weather it serves equally well. As 

 siding it practically wears out before it 

 decays. When made into porch and 

 portico columns it retains its shape, 

 holds paint and has sufficient strength 

 to sustain necessary loads. It is placed 

 as cornices, gutters, outside blinds, pi- 

 lasters and railing, and is much used 

 for poich floors and steps. 



SECRETARIES PLEASE WRITE. 



To the secretaries of the florists' clubs 

 of the United States: Please send the 

 number of members your club contains 

 to the secretary of the S. A. F., John 

 Young, 54 West Twenty-eighth street,

Norfolk, Neb.— The Cochran Floral 

 Co. has started business here and has 

 built a greenhouse, 28x85, to which ad- 

 ditions will be made as circumstances 

 require. The firm is composed of 

 F. E. and Clyde F. Cochran, father and 

 son. The son has just completed a four- 

 year horticultural and special green- 

 house course at Iowa State College, grad- 

 uating June 1. He will have direct charge 

 of the business here. 



"NEW GEUM" 

 1913 



Geum Coccineum 



Mrs. J. Bradshaw 



This is one of the finest plants of recent 

 introduction. It will put quite into the 

 background all the Geums at present 

 found in gardens. This fine variety pro- 

 duces very large flowers, 2 inches or more 

 across, semi-double, and with plenty of 

 substance in them, of the most brilliant 

 scarlet. They are produced on long wiry 

 stems, and continuously from June to 

 October. For cutting and border decora- 

 tion it is very hard to beat, and no doubt 

 it will figure conspicuously on the show 

 table in future.

GERANIUMS 



Some growers depend on the culls left after the bedding season is 

 over for their propagating stock. The wise grower uses the best 

 plants he can get for that purpose. Young plants propagated Jfor 

 that purpose are the best. We have a few thousands of just that 

 kind, of the following varieties:— Marvel, the best deep red; S. 

 A. Nutt, deep red; Decorator, tbe best orange scarlet; A. 

 Ricard, orange scarlet; Bte. de Poitevine, salmon. 

 Plant these out now for your fall propagating.
