This tine old apple tree ap- 

 peared to be past treat- 

 ment, says Mr. Crane. Note 

 how Davey e.\perts. after 

 cleaning out the decay, dis- 

 infecting and zvater proofing. 

 have braced the shell and 

 Med it with sectional joints 

 of concrete. This is an ex- 

 clusive Davey process which 

 allows for swaying and pre- 

 vents cracking. 



The tribute of Thomas Crane 

 to Davey Tree Surgery 



New Bedford, Mass. 

 The Davey Tree Expert Co., Kent, Ohio. 



Centlemen: In 1918 my employer, Mrs. Horatio Hathaway, engaged 

 v<iur e.xperts to treat '*;ome trees. 



In one corner of the grounds stood a very old apple tree, much valued. 

 This tree, to an inexperienced eye, when opened up would appear to 

 be past treatment. Your experts cleaned out all decayed wood, which 

 left the fork and limbs entirely hollow. After disinfecting, water- 

 proofing and bracing, the cavities were filled carefully, section by 

 section, and have stood during the past twelve months some very 

 severe wind storms, without the slightest signs of cracking. Good 

 healing has commenced. 



No gardener need b*- afraid to recommend to his employer treatment 

 of any valuable tree under the Davey method, but rather feel that he 

 is looking after his employer's interest by the assurance that his trees 

 will surely be preserved. 



^V>u have my heartv support in this important profession of preserv- 

 ing our trees. 



Very truly yours, 



Thomas Crane. 



The saving of jiriceless trees is a matter nf first importance on every 



estate. 



Davev Tree Surgery is a fulfillment of the ma.ximum expectations of 



those who love and value trees. A careful examination of your trees 



will l)e mado by appointment.
