THE TREE DOCTOR" 



by 



*John Davey 



XHe father* of Xi-ee Swrgef y 



'The Tree Doctor" is recognized as the standard authority on the practical care 

 of shade trees, orchards, lawns, shrubs, flowers, and vineyards. 



Tree structure, tree surgery in all its phases, proper and improper root condi- 

 tions, the growing of fruits, the care of trees in public places, remedies of insect 

 pests and tree diseases, the cultivation of flowers, various types of landscaping, the 

 relation between trees, birds, — these and kindred subjects are treated exhaustively, 

 and the various points brought out in the text are clearly illustrated by an abundance 

 of photographs, specially selected for this work from thousands taken by the author 

 during his many years of experience in the care and study of trees. 



This book is not written by a mere theorist, but by the most successful tree 

 specialist of his time — a man who has spent nearly half a century in the most intimate 

 contact with the subjects of which he treats. It is indispensable to the man who loves 

 his home and its surroundings. It is interesting, instructive, elevating.
