Tree Surgery a .Speclnllied Science 

 Tree owners somellines contuse Tree 

 Surgery with Forestry. These two pro- 

 fession's are as widely separated as 

 dentistry and medicine. 

 The Forester Is trained to deal with 

 trees In the mass, culturlng them pri- 

 marily for lumber supply. As Bernard 

 E Fernow. Dean of Kaiulty of Forestry, 

 lulversity of Toronto, puts It: "Ihe 

 forester grows trees not to be preserved, 

 hut to be harvested." 



The Tree Surgeon, on the lontrary. Is 

 Interested In the Individual tree; to pro- 

 long Its life Is his sole aim. He knows 

 little or nothing about forestry and Is 

 entirely unequipped In training and ex- 

 perience to cope with Its problems. 

 Forestry Is a worthy profession doing a 

 great economic work. But to entrust 

 the saving of your priceless specimen 

 trees to a Forester Is certain to result 

 in disaster. 



For real Tree Surgery, there Is only one 

 safe place to go— to Davey Tree bur- 

 geons.

 become a mere shell,
