CAN YOU THINK OF ANY HARDER TEST 

 FOR WOOD THAN GREENHOUSE USE? 



You know ordinary wood in greenhouses lasts not over 4 years. 



Zero on one side, hot humidity on the other, constant contact with wet rich eartli and com- 

 post, constant sprinkling and sweating, all combine in an invitation to hurry up and rot. 



NEXT TO THE GROWTH OF THE PLANTS THEMSELVES 



THE BUSIEST THING IN A GREENHOUSE 



is the decay-tendency of the wood it is mostly made of. 



THOSE WHO MAKE GREENHOUSES A BUSINESS 



One of the largest greenhouse manufacturers, J. C. Moninger Co. , Chicago, says : 



"We first began using Cypress exclusively for greenhouse construction in 1885, using it previously in 

 conjunction with pine. The greenhouses then built with Cypress are being used today by their 

 owners and the wood is found perfectly preserved and free oj any decay or rot." Figure it out yourself .

"WOOD THAT WILL STAND THE GREENHOUSE TEST 



WILL STAND ANYTHING," SO INSIST ON CYPRESS FOR EVE RYTH I N G.
