The Tribute of Andrew Rodgers 

 to Davey Tree Surgery 



130 Court Street, Plymouth, Mass.

Kent, Ohio. 

 Dear Sirs : 



Your experts having operated upon the trees at this estate for 

 three successive years, I have had every opportunity of watching 

 very closely their most interesting and valuable work. 



Your men are real live wires and professionals in the true 

 sense of the word. 



Admitting that it is up to every gardener to secure the very 

 best seed and nursery stock in order to insure giving satisfaction 

 in his crops, flowers and shrubs, is it not logical then that the 

 wonderful specimen trees should have the attention of the highest 

 authorities? Experts trained only for this particular business 

 should always be the first consideration. The very best is not too 

 good, but a doubtful proposition is dangerous to recommend to 

 any estate owner. 



Your treatment on the trees here will stand any investigation. 

 With all good wishes 



Sincerely yours, 



(Signed) Andrew Rodgers. 

 Gardener to Mrs. Ethel D. Mellor. 



The saving of priceless trees is a matter of first importance on every 

 estate. Davey Tree Surgery is a fulfillment of the maximum expec- 

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

 your trees will be made by appointment.
