 .w_. " ' The lives of these trees might have been preserved, had you not forgotten 

 W»>» t0 love and care for them as you did of old. All the trees are your friends— 

 entities indeed; worthy of every token of tenderness and every care you can 



bestow upon them. They cannot complain to you, and today they may appear healthy; 



dying within. Let your watchfulness supply their lack of voice ! 

 .Tohn Davey's life work has been the care of trees— their treatment when sick, their treatment 

 when wounded, their protection from destroying enemies. The Davey methods are sure ones— the result of nearly htty years 

 practical experience with trees. No matter what ails your trees, if they are not too far gone, the Davey experts can save 

 them — and if not saved, whence can you hope to replace them ? ' ... 



The Davey School of Practical Forestry, at Kent, Ohio, is the culmination of John Davey s great effort for the recognition 

 of the life and needs of the trees. Its corps of highly trained experts are at your service— they can restore your trees to a con- 

 dition that means years of added usefulness and beauty. For the asking; you can have our handsome illustrated booklet jn 

 telling you all about the Davey methods — explaining why we have so many letters like this:

 Mr. Tohn Davey, Mott House, Tarrytown, N. Y. 



My Dear Sir:—\\. gives me pleasure to express the satisfaction I feel over the work done on my trees at tarrytown. 

 Their need of attention, which you plainly indicated, was arevelation to me, and I feel that your work was thoroughly 

 and efficiently done, and will serve not only to beautify but perpetuate the lives of the trees. I beg also to certify to the 

 courtesy and industrious character of your employees. Very truly yours, JOHN D. ARCHBOL) >

' ^SZ —L^ Trees are almost human, staunch and loyal, but do you 

 appreciate them as you should? Are you as loyal to them as 

 ".? "^ they are to you ? 



When you were a child, doubtless every tree about the 

 old home was as much a thing of personality as the horses 

 and dogs you loved — the boys and girls you trudged to school with. 

 Perhaps to each tree you gave a name — the sturdy old oak close by 

 the road; the trusty and faithful elm that towered high above the roof 

 peak of the house; and the weeping willow in the fence corner close by the 

 driveway. 

 Possibly you were told the legend of mother's mother who when but a girl 

 in her teens returned one day from a ride and threw her whip in a corner — __ 

 _ .? a mere slip of willow she had found that afternoon ; how days passed and 



the slip took root ; how years passed and it became the weeping willow that 

 you knew. 

 Still other years have passed and the struggles of life have caueJ you to forget, maybe, 

 the tree-friends of your childhood. The old oak was - , 



are, and died. A mighty storm lacerated the rnam 

 d today is a mere wreck of its former self . Onlyadying^
