The tribute of Timothy J. Sullivan 

 to Davey Tree Surgery 



The Davey Tree Expert Company. Inc., Kent. Ohio. 

 Dear Sirs: In 1912 your experts operated upon some trees on the 

 estate of my employer, Mrs. Sidney Webster. I was then very much 

 interested in their work, and have watched the trees heal over the 

 cement filling year after year. The work at that time to me was 

 certainly wonderful, and has been the means, without a doubt, of 

 preserving some valuable trees. 



At the time of writing, Mrs. Webster has again engaged your experts 

 to treat some oaks, beech and maples. You are to be congratulated 

 upon the strides made in few years. I note the improvements on the 

 shaping of the cavities, the value of the watersheds to exclude all 

 moisture, the mechanical bracing and the inserting of cables in place 

 of chains to protect the trees from splitting down at V-shape crotches. 

 I appreciate very much having men of the stamp your experts 

 are, men who know their work, and men who require no watching 

 whatsoever. They are continually on the job, and your foreman is 

 most courteous and obliging. 



In 1912 after your experts left here, I swore that Davey woiild receive 

 my support, and I still insist that D.WEY method is second to none, 

 and a safe bet for a gardener to recommend to his employer. 

 Very truly vours. 



■ TIMOTHY J. SULLIVAN, Gardener.
