T is easy to talk sympathetically about trees, but talk alone does them no 

 good. They require care and attention — an opportunity to live and grow. 

 A tree lives a real life; it breathes and has a circulation. It has digestive 



organs, and they perform their functions just as effectually as those of animals. 



The tree's processes of reproduction are beautiful and inspiring. And because 



a tree lives, it is subject to disease and decay. 



Trees Need Scientific Treatment 

 by Experts to Malce Them Thrive 



Your trees may be sick or wounded, and you may not know it. They suflFer in silence, and 

 often it is only the expert who knows they are not healthy. It is always safe to consult an expert 

 and let him find out whether your trees are in good condition. If they are, it is a satisfaction 

 to know it; if they are not, you cannot afford not to know it. Then, the sooner they receive 

 the attention they need, the better it will be for the trees and for you. 



Consult the Davey Tree Surgeons and 

 Secure Expert Information and Advice 



John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery, has worked out a science for the salvation of the trees. 

 It took many years to perfect it — years of patient study and experiment. The science is a 

 success, and has saved the lives of thousands of trees. It is now possible for any tree owner to 

 have the benefit of John Davey's methods. The Davey Tree Experts are trained under the 

 direction of John Davey, and practice the science he originated. 



**Our Wounded Friends, the Trees" 



Graphically describes tree facts, many of Ihem heretofore untold, and gives in detail the Davey methods 



of tree preservation. This book is unique, just as the Davey system is essentially original. It explains the 



superior efficiency of Davey methods and tells why only experts 



should be employed for tree surgery. The book has cost too 



much to permit promiscuous distribution, but we shall be glad
