The tribute of Harry Burton to 

 Davey Tree Surgery 



Davey Tree Expert Co.. Kent, Ohio. 



Gentlemen : It has been the intention of the 

 writer since having the work done on our trees, 

 to let the Company know some*of the "impres- 

 sions" made by a very close observation of the 

 operations, together with questioning your 

 representatix'e and the foreman as to the "why 

 and wherefore." In view of the various "com- 

 ments" I had heard regarding your work. I 

 endeavored to investigate thorougjily, this being 

 my first opiiortunity to follow tlie oitenition 

 throughout. 



I was impressed b\' tiie e\idcnt carefulness with 

 which every feature of the work had been 

 studied out, the spirit in which they were 

 executed, the promptness and industriousness of 

 the men, and the wonderful organization as a 

 whole. 



As a "gardener" T have long felt that the care of 

 trees has received tc)o little attention (and sonic 

 times too much of the wrong kind).

As ])ioneers in this held you are to be congratu- 

 lated. You have evidently "sensed" the subject 

 from every angle. The change frgin the old 

 tuisightl}' chains to the almost invisible cables 

 now used is a very striking illustration of mini- 

 mi/,ing defects. 



Your "Tree .'^urgerv" imiiressed the writer as 

 being much "safer and surer" than so much of 

 the medical surgery because of the fact that the 

 tree is a less complex organism than the human 

 being. With all good wishes. Sincerely, 



(signed) HARRY BURTON, 

 .Supt. Mrs. H. B. Cilpin Estate. 



Every gardener and estate superinlcndcnt lias a most 

 important work in the saving of trees under his care. 

 Davey Tree Surgery brings to his aid the highest de- 

 velopment of science plus a generation of e.^perience. 

 A careful examination of your trees will be made by 

 appointment.
