Plant Peterson's Prize 

 Peonies NOW 



Spring may be safest for ROSES in the North, 

 but PEONIES must be planted in fall. 



My Peonies may cost a little more than some 

 others, but then, can you — really now — when in- 

 vesting in a f low^er that you need plant but once 

 in ycur lifetime — afford to take chances with 

 cheap stock ? My plants are the best that skilled 

 effort can produce, and when you purchase a 

 peony here you have the serene confidence that 

 it w^ill come true to the label it bears. 



And remember please that my Peonies are 



Peonies of Quality 



that in the big shows of New York and Boston 

 this year they w^on ten first prizes out of eleven 

 entries, and that too in competition with not 

 only my business contemporeuries, but also with 

 the skilled professional gardeners of some of 

 the largest private estates in the east.

HE WHO USES CYPRESS BUILDS BUT ONCE 



cm?£5s 



"THE WOOD ETERNAU^ 



You know the ancient fame of 



CYPRESS 



but do you know its uses today , 

 and their significance to you f 



CYPRESS is t/ie wood of Scriptural history, and of romance; CYPRESS was the 

 mystic wood of mythology— and it was the reliance of the sturdy builders of early 

 America; CYPRESS always has been a magnet for those who have wrought senti- 

 ment and beauty into useful things — and CYPRESS is today the stap/e wood of the 

 hard-headed calculating buyer who seeks the most lasting values for his lumber-money. 

 This concerns YOU — if you like to avoid repair bills on anything made of wood. 

 It was of CYPRESS, according to Pliny, that tlie famous statue of Jupiter was carved; it existed 

 more than six centuries without a sign of decay. 



The historic Gates of Constantinople were of CYPRESS; they were on duty for eleven centuries 

 without a furlough. 



The CYPRESS doors of ancient St. Peter's, in Rome, were in a state of perfect preservation when 

 removed by Eugenius IV; they had been swinging on the faithful for twelve centuries. 

 The only Egyptian mummies that survive intact and unblemished are those whose executors filed 

 them in CYPRESS receptacles. 



To bring the record nearer home — there was Thomas Lyon, who in 1640 built him 

 a house in Greenwich, Connecticut. He put CYPRESS shingles on its roof and sides. 

 With no exterior repairs of consequence, this house is today occupied as a residence. 

 THIS WAS AMERICAN CYPRESS — the kind we own and cut and are 

 selling you. 



CYPRESS is in truth the wood eternal." He who uses Cypress builds but once. 

 If you are putting up a palace or a pasture-fence, and want to build it for keeps" 

 —USE CYPRESS. 



There is going to be a liberal education (and a wonderful innjestment value for you) in the 

 CYPRESS advertising here begun — and in the detailed information and reliable counsel to be had 

 promptly, WITHOUT COST, if you will WRITE US YOUR OWN NEEDS (big or little), and ASK 

 YOUR OWN QUESTIONS of the "All-round Helps Department" of the 



Southern Cypress Manufacturers' Association 



1209 HIBERNIA BANK BUILDING, NEW ORLEANS, LA. 



Probably your lumber man sells CYPRESS; if not, WRITE US, and we will tell you the dealer handiest to you.
