 Gentlemen : I am pleased to state 

 that the Tree Surgery work done on 

 the estate here in 1915 has stood the 

 test of time, and that all the trees 

 treated are without exception in the 

 best of health and vigor. Many of the 

 smaller cavities are entirely healed and 

 the larger ones are rap- 

 idly healing. I heartily 

 endorse your methods of 

 Tree Surgery and can 

 recommend the work to 

 anyone interested in pre- 

 serving fine trees. 



Yours very truly, 



P. W. POPP. 



The saving of priceless trees is a matter 

 of first importance on every estate. 

 Davey Tree Surgery is a fulfillment of 

 the maximum expectations of those who 

 love and value trees. A careful exam- 

 ination of your trees will be made by 

 appointment.
