I Can Preserve Your Old Trees 
FoR MORE than ten years! was actively engaged in forestry and land- 
scape work prior to being called in consultation by Mr. J. T. Wood- 
ward, President of the Hanover National Bank of New York, who wished 
to save the famous old Liberty Tree at Annapolis, Md. This was the 
greatest piece of tree doctoring ever undertaken. Fifty-three tons of con- 
crete (reinforced) were required to fill the enormous cavity running 564 
feet high. On completion of the work a memorial tablet was unveiled 
on Peggy Stuart Day last October, with appropriate exercises, in the pres- 
ence of the Governor and other state officers. 
The art of tree surgery is comparatively new, butit is based on scien- 
tific principles of plant growth anda knowledge of the causes of disease 
and decay. 
I undertake the management of orchards, as well as all 
kinds of ornamental plantations, grading, surveying, 
making flower gardens, herbaceous borders, and give 
advice on all the problems of estale management. 
-€4 This poplar, or tulip tree, on the campus of St. John’s College, Annapolis, was 
successfully treated ]ast year. The open side of the cavity is 18 feet high; height of 
tree 104 feet 6 inches; age possibly 600 years, circumference 37 feet 6 inches. 
Write to me about any subject concerning the care of trees, 
and I will give you my opinion, based on years of experience.
