THE BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION OF 

 AN UGLY SKYUNE EFFECT 



The principal flaw in the top plioto- 

 graph is the unsightly effect produced by 

 dead branches. Edged against the sky is a 

 ragged, monotonous outline in which there 

 is a minimum of grace, symmetry and 

 beauty. 



Now note the lower photograph — 

 observe what a wonderful transformation 

 has been effected by Davey Tree Surgeons ! 



All ugly, (lead branches have been removed, .and 

 artistic grouping has been achieved by the elimina- 

 tion of certain unimportant trees and bushes. 

 What refreshing variety of outline is now presented; 

 what charm lies in its perfect simplicity ! 



Possibly your estate offers similar opportunities 

 for enhanced beauty — perhaps a little judicious 

 artistry can bring out "hidden wonders"' of which 



you are now imconscious. 



BUT — be careful to whom you entru.st this 

 important work. Trimming and cutting, incorrectly 

 done, are dangerous. Thousands of trees are lost 

 every year because their owners do not realize the 

 degree of highly expert knowledge and experience 

 this work requires. More than half the decay in 

 tiees is directly traceable to improper trimming. 



Take the safe course — 



— and put your trees in the hands of Davey Tree 

 Surgeons. Tree Surgery, as they practice it, is 



scientihcally accurate and mechanically perfect — ■ 

 the result of the life study of John Davey, "The 

 Father of Tree Surgery," augmented and refined by 

 the massed experience of the greatest body of 

 expert tree men the world has ever known. 



Davey Tree Surgeons are the only Tree Sur- 

 geons olBcially endorsed by the United States 

 Government. They have treated and saved the 

 priceless trees at the National Capitol, White House, 

 Naval Observatory, Fort Meyer, Charleston (S. C.) 

 Navy Yard, Annapolis Naval Academy, West 

 Point Military Academy, etc. 



They are the only tree surgeons endorsed by 

 thousands of estate owners — prominent men and 

 women whose recommendations you can accept 

 with complete confidence. And they are the only 

 Tree Surgeons who are backed by a successful and 

 responsible house, amply able to make good in 

 every instance, and not needing, for the sake of 

 temporary existence, to sacrifice in the slightest 

 degree its high standards.

From Mr. Lisle R. Beardslee, 



WUmint/ton, Delaware. 



"The work done h.v your company 

 upon an old tree in my yard is very 

 satisfactory and a remarkable demon- 

 stration of what can be accompHshed 

 by the scientific methods followed by 

 .your concern." 



From Mr. Arthur Heurtley, 



The Northern Trust Company, 



Chicago, III. 



"The work done on my trees by 

 your foreman and his associates has 

 been ver.v satisfactory, so much so that 

 we have been at considerable pains to 

 canvass the neighborhood so as to give 

 the boys some extra work while in the 

 vicinity." 



From Mr. Wm. R. Kenan, Jr.^ 



Lockport, N. Y. 



" Some twelve or fourteen years ago 

 while visiting at my sister's summer 

 home at Mamaroneck, N. Y., I saw 

 .vour father with a ver.v large corps 

 doing tree surgery on that place. It 

 impressed me so forcibl.v and, in later 

 years, the results were so convincing 

 that, upon the purchase of this place, 

 I concluded to have .vour compan.v do 

 such work as was necessary here. The 

 work has been entirely satisfactory."
