\our Trees 



ave Life and 



Deserve to Live 



^^^ Trees are almost human, staunch 

 and loyal, but do you appreciate them 



as you should ? Are you as loyal to them 

 as they are to you ? 



_ _ When you were a child, doubtless every tree 



about the old home was as much a thing of person- 

 ality as the horses and dogs you loved — the boys and girls 

 --> you trudged to school with. 



Perhaps to each tree you gave a name — the sturdy old oak close 

 by the road ; the trusty and faithful elm that towered high above 

 the roof peak of the house ; and the weeping willow in a fence 

 corner close by the driveway. 



Possibly you were told the legend of mother's mother, who, when but a girl in her 

 teens, returned one day from a ride and threw her whip in the corner — a mere slip of 

 willow she had found that afternoon ; how days passed and the slip took root ; how 

 years passed and it became the weeping willow that you knew. 



Still other years have passed and the struggles of life have caused you to forget, 

 maybe, the tree friends of your childhood. The old oak was wounded, had not proper 

 care, and died. A mighty storm lacerated the mammoth elm ; it was neglected, and 

 today is a mere wreck of its former self. Only a dying trunk stands to remind you 

 of the legend of the weeping willow. 



The lives of these trees might have been preserved had you not forgotten to love 

 and care for them as you did of old All the trees are your friends — entities, indeed ; 

 worthy of every token of tenderness and every care you can bestow upon them. They 

 cannot complain to you, and today they may appear healthy, while dying within. 



John Davey's lifework has been the care of trees, their treatment when sick, their 

 treatment when wounded, their protection from destroying enemies. The Davey methods 

 are sure ones — the result of nearly fifty years' practical experience with trees. No mat- 

 ter what ails your trees, if not too far gone, the Davey experts can save them. 



The Davey School of Practical Forestry, at Kent, Ohio, is the culmination of John 

 Davey's great efforts for the recognition of the life and needs of trees. Its corps of 

 highly trained experts are at your service — they can restore your trees 

 to a condition that means years of added usefulness and beauty. For 

 the asking, you can have our handsome illustrated Booklet H, telling 

 you all about the Davey methods.

 Mr. John Davey, Tarrytown, New York. 



My Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to express the satisfaction I feel over 

 the work done on my trees at Tarrytown. Their need of attention, which 

 you plainly indicated, was a revelation to me, and I 

 feel that your work was thoroughly and efficiently 

 done, and will serve not only to beautify biut perpetuate 

 the lives of the trees. I beg also to certify to the cour- 

 tesy and industrious character of your employees. 



Very truly yours, John D. Archboi.d
