Tree Experts 

 Can Heal 

 Their Wounds 



1 



A perfect tree is a rare thing. Only a very small percentage of our American trees are so nearly perfect 

 that they require but a small amount af expert work to make them completely so. In any grove of one 

 hundred trees, native or transplanted, from ten to fifty will be found in a serious condition, as a rule — 

 exceptions to this rule are very rarely found. Probably half of the remainder will show evidences of 

 moderately serious conditions and the other half will grade from that stage to nearly perfect. 



The Vast Majority of Trees Need 

 Expert Treatment. 



Abuse and neglect are the two chief factors which 

 are at work to destroy trees. If even the tiniest 

 cavity in a tooth is neglected the inevitable result 

 is either a difficult operation in the course of a few 

 years or the loss of the tooth. Just so with the 

 trees — the small and innocent looking hole you see 

 today will be greatly increased in dimensions five 

 years hence. As the cavity grows in size, it 

 weakens the tree and in but a few years the 

 tree will be blown down some windy day. 



Prompt Treatment of Tree Ills 

 Saves Money. 



While a tree is but slightly affected it is a com- 

 paratively inexpensive matter for it to be treated 

 by the Davey experts. They will treat the cavity, 

 stop the decay, fill the hole skillfully, and the bark 

 will gradually heal over it. The longer the tree 

 is neglected the more its life is endangered and the 

 more it costs to save it. It pays to take time by the 

 forelock and give your trees really expert attention 

 when they least need it. As the tree grows worse, 

 treatment becomes more imperative and more expensive. 



Write Us Now About Your Fine Trees and Their Examination by An Expert. 



The quality service of our experts is available east of the Missouri River. Our special representatives are 

 making up their traveling schedules for spring and summer. It is quite possible we can arrange to have one 

 of them make an examination of your trees without cost or obligation to you — if we hear from you 

 at once. When you write, tell us how many trees you have; what kinds and where located. We will 

 write you promptly and send you booklet explaining the science of tree surgery and the 

 Davey service, giving ample evidence of its practical and permanent value to trees.
