Almost everybody has heard of pecky cypress and its wonderful lasting quali- ties but a large number of florists have never seen the lumber and have but a faint idea of how it actually looks. Some of the growers ordered pecky cypress for their benches and when it came wrote a hot letter to the people they bought it from saying that the lumber was rotten and unfit to be used tor any purpose, and that they would not under any conditions accept it. The reason for this misunderstanding about pecky cypress is that no good description of the lumber has ever been published. Several articles have been published about the cause of the pecky in cypress but none of them clearly explained about the grade of the lumber.
