JOHN DAVEY 

 Father of Tree Surgtry 



When druids worshipped in the dim groves of "the oaks of God," men said 

 that trees had souls. Today science has revealed to us a new wonder in trees 

 as living things organisms that breathe, assimilate food, grow, reproduce, suflfer 

 from disease, hunger and thirst. If you do not protect them from their enemies, 

 they die prematurely. Most tree troubles can be corrected by real Tree Sur- 

 geons if taken in time. 



That is why to neglect your trees, to "put off" having them examined and treated 

 where necessary, is to invite their ruin. Decay is insidious, and eats forward with 

 grim progressiveness. It is frequently unapparent to the untrained eye. So 

 with smothered roots, exhausted food supply, lack of water, insect enemies, 

 external diseases, structural weaknesses, to neglect them is generally fatal. 



That, too, is why trees must be treated by men thoroughly schooled in the 

 science of saving trees as living things ; why real Tree Surgery is an exacting 

 science of the highest order. 



Davey Tree Surgeons are trained with rigid thoroughness. They have an ac- 

 curate scientific knowledge, great practical skill, and a love of trees. Back of 

 them is an organization of established stability, a generation of ripe experience, 

 and a fine tradition of conscientious service. They will, by appointment, make a 

 careful examination of your trees. Illustrated booklet sent upon request.
