Notes on Deals.
All deals are liable to dry rot, if placed in contact with damp brickwork.
If the pith of a tree be left in the centre of a deal, dry rot attacks it.
Dry rot first attacks the sapwood of a deal; and next, the pith.
Stockholm, or Gefle deals are not liable to be affected with dry rot.
