The South's Grand Old Trees Need the Davey Tree Experts 



No portion of the country has more beautiful trees than the Southland, and nowhere are trees more loved and prized. Although in far too many cases neglected and de- 

 caying, the majestic trees of the South respond quickly to treatment at the hands of experts. The accompanying picture shows trees typical of the section, after treatment 

 by a corps of Davey men, on the home grounds at Magnolia Villa of Mayor George W. Tiedeman of Savannah, Georgia. The general satisfaction afforded tree owners in 

 the South by the Davey service is well expressed by Mr. A. G. Campbell, president First National Bank of Natchez, Mississippi: "Referring to work done by your Com- 

 pany on my Live Oaks and Magnolias beg to say they are 

 very much improved, and we think they are good for a great 

 many years more. From my experience, I think it is very 

 necessary to have trees gone over by your method, and it 

 improves them very much." 



The Davey Men Go South for the Winter Campaign 



Tree surgery cannot be practised at the north during the rigors of win- 

 ter. As soon as cold weather comes, therefore, the Davey experts move 

 southward. In the milder climate they can work without interruption, 

 and, in fact, to better advantage than m summer. Eoutes for the win- 

 ter campaign are now under consideration, and southern home owners 

 who wish their trees treated this winter are invited to write at once for 

 full particulars. Tell us how many trees you have, what kind and 

 >vhere they are located. We may be able to favor you with their 

 inspection at an early date without cost. 



A booklet on tree surgery free to every person who writes us.
