A 



HANDSOME TREE j 



is a valuable asset to any | 



estate or home and well F 



worth watchful care. Accidents | 



may happen to any tree, but in | 



most cases prompt surgical at- | 



tention can preserve its beauty r 



I and usefulness. g 



I pORMS OF TREE SURGERY, however, in j 



I which cavities in the elastic trunk or limbs are j 



I filled with an inelastic substance involve the constant | 



I danger of cracking, a risk quite as great as neglect of | 



I the original injury. Horizontal cracking is followed | 



i inevitably by cessation of the flow of nourishment j 



I which in turn causes the withering and death of the | 



I damaged portion. | 



I "THE BARTLETT METHOD OF TREE | 



I ■'• SURGERY obviates this danger. It consists | 



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



j pliable filling compound for replacing dead tissues, | 



I preserving the live ones and protecting them against | 



I harmful germs, insect pests and fungous growths. | 



I Examinations and estimates on request. A little | 



I attention early saves trouble and expense later. |
