'*The SalvaOon o! Our Trees 



Educational Lecture by Jolui Davey 



Tlie "Father of Tree Surgery" 



John Davey, the world's greatest tree expert, who gave to mankind 

 the wonderful profession of tree surgery, is rounding out his useful 

 life by the delivery of an illustrated lecture, "The Salvation of Our 

 Trees," that arouses each community in which it is heard to the needs 

 of its trees. Knowledge of trees, founded on abiding love for them, 

 enables Mr. Davey to speak with convincing force. 



This lecture, using over 150 

 beautiful lantern slides, illustrates 

 real trees, portraying every phase 

 of tree life — perfect and imperfect 

 trees ; sick and wounded trees ; 

 neglected and "butchered" trees ; 

 improperly treated trees, and trees 

 that have been saved by the sci- 

 ence of tree surgery, properly 

 applied. 



Afr. Davey describes with pow- 

 erful efifect the wonders of tree 

 life, from an entirely new stand- 

 point. His wortls are the expres- 

 sion of a life experience, and ap- 

 peal to the best emotions of his 

 hearers — for a deeper ap]:)recia- 

 tion of the significance of trees 

 and a tenderer regard for their 

 welfare. 



John Davey, The " Father 

 of Tree Surgery " 



"The Salvation of Our Trees" is practical, yet entertaining; in- 

 structive, yet filled with human interest ; original, and little less than 

 astounding in many of its revelations. The president of the American 

 Civic Association said of this lecture, "I wish ten thousand commu- 

 nities might hear it ; tJiat would mean the 

 salvation of a million trees." 



Fall and Winter engagements for Mr. Davey 

 are rapidly being completed. Special rates will be 

 made to Park Commissions, Civic Improvement 

 Societies, Boards of Trade, Schools and Colleges, 

 Women's Clubs and Chautauquas. Those inter-
