On the country estate as well as in the simple garden, California 
Redwood fills an every-day need. 
Garden benches, propagating boxes, greenhouse moulding, “cold 
forms,” hedge boxes, “hot beds”—these are among the popular out¬ 
door uses of this remarkable lumber—uses for which Redwood, of 
all building materials, is particularly adapted. 
“We have tried various kinds of woods that we thought might 
be suitable for greenhouse work for the past 20 years,” writes the 
Vice-President of the King Construction Company of North Tona- 
wanda, New York, “and we have found Redwood to be the most 
durable and serviceable of any of them.” 
Redwood resists rot to a remarkable degree—due to a natural 
preservative. Redwood needs no paint or artificial preservative, 
but takes paint readily where paint is desired. 
It is less liable to warp or twist than other woods. 
It does not shrink or swell, once properly seasoned. 
Redwood has a uniform straight grain—is light, but strong—is 
remarkably fire-resistant (due to the absence of pitch or resin)—and 
Redwood is famed for its natural beauty of tint and graining. 
You will be surprised at the many ways in which you can use Redwood, 
once you make its acquaintance.
