A 



TREE'S NOURISH- | 



MENT is transmitted j 



from roots to lea\es by j 



way of the inner bark. If this j 



becomes cracked horizontally, the | 



flow of sap stops entirely or in | 



part, accordmg to the extent of j 



I the injury, and the damaged portion of the tree withers | 



I and dies. j 



I A FREQUENT CAUSE of this disastrous | 



I cracking is the use by tree surgeons of a | 



I rigid filling for cavities. Until some way is found | 



j to stop the wind from blowing, trees will continue to | 



I sway with every breeze, and when trunks or limbs j 



j are filled with an inelastic substance, the danger is | 



I obvious and inevitable. | 



I 'THE BARTLETT METHOD OF TREE j 



I •^ SURGER'^' obviates this danger. It consists | 



I of the use of FLEXIFILL, a patented, practical, | 



j pliable filling compound for replacing dead tissues, | 



j preserving the live ones and protecting them against j 



I harmful germs, insect pests and fungous growths. | 



I Examinations and estimates on request. A little j 



I attention early saves trouble and expense later. |
