Tree Guards 



If a horse gets at one of your 

 trees, even for a few minutes, 

 the damage is done. Your 

 loss is irreparable, yet it 

 could have been prevented. 



Don't Take Chances

Beautiful Trees 



Excelsior Rust Proof Tree Guards 

 give full prelection and do not 

 detract fiom the beauty of the 

 trees. The Guards last many 

 years, because heavy galvanizing 

 prevents rust. i here are several 

 styles — select the one that suits.
