The Preservation 

 of Historic Trees 



This is a matter which is attracting attention of thoughtful people 

 everywhere. HUtoricai societies and village-improveDient associa- 

 tions an iuteret'tinr themselves in the preservation of trees, many of 

 which are century-old landmarks. 



I have been particularly *'uccessful in doing this nort of work as 

 videnced by examples to be found among the hiHtoric trees of Mt. 

 Vernon, notably the restoration of the Holly planted by George 

 Washington, which had been so severely Injured by wli d storms and 

 decay that its restorHtion was considered bopelesR. The top of the 

 tree was crowned and the weakened branches bolted to a reinforciiig 

 rod, and the tree now hax a new lease nf life. 



Another example was the restoration of the famous Liberty Tree 

 at AMnapolis. Md. frobably more cem'^nt and reiufurciug material 

 was u>ed in this tree than on any similar job in the country but the 

 tree Is now as ••olid as a rock and is likely to withstand the wear and 

 tear of several centur<es. 



The art of tree surgery is comparatively new, but it is based on 

 Bcieiitiflc principles of plant growth and the knowledge of the xource 

 or disease and decay. After decay has been arrested and all the 

 dead and u-eifss limbs removed I give special attention to new 

 growth and the proper feeding of the tree, in order that it may have 

 fresh vigor. 



I will give personal attention to any inquiries which the readers 

 of the Florists' Review msy 8en<i me regarding any trees which for 

 sentimental or other reasons they would like preserved for genera- 

 tions to come. 



I undertake tbe manaKement ot oroliards 

 as '^ell as all kinds of ornamental planta- 

 tions, sradlns, BurveyinKt maklngr of floi^er 

 Kardens and herbaceous borders, and srive
