. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. HAPPY GREENHOUSE FACT! ''With CYPRESS You Build But ; "With any other material you're 'billed' perpetually/' You save many times over (by avoiding repairs and replacements) what slight premium you pay a high- class contractor for using Cypress at first. It is worth good money to you if you will but profit by the fol- lowing suggestions: DON'T buy sash or other woodwork that is painted. Paint covers sap, checks and a multitude of other wood sins. Insikt on seeing the raw wood. DON'T buy excessively kiln-dried wood—air-dried is immeasurably better. Greenhouse lumber that has to travel 3,000 miles may be excused if it is kiln-dried to death to save freight over the mountains, but that excuse doesn't make it any better for you. DON'T forget that you are wasting valuable time whenever you stop and listen to a whimwham about some ' * substitute'' wood for heart Cypress. There can't be any substitute until nature invents a new species of wood. (Nothing to it but PECKY Cypress for Benches.) DON'T fuss at the building contractor if he insists on putting a smooth surface on your work—it is to your advantage. Cypress takes that smooth surface. And takes paint perfectly if you want it to. Yet lasts generations without any paint. DON'T laugh at the statement that Cypress sash has been in uninterrupted use in a greenhouse for 45 years. It can be proved. Can a "substitute" wood equal the record? Isn't that a money-saver? JUST FIGUBE your construction costs by the year and you'd pay twice the slight additional price of "The Wood Eternal" over the short-lived woods.
