"Give us Fruit More Fruit 

 Cry the PeopleoftheCities 



One of the most serious problems of the present day is 

 the supplying our rapidly growing population with the 

 necessities of life. That the supply is not equal to the 

 demand is shown by the rapid increase of living expenses 

 during the past few years. The Governmental investiga- 

 tions of these conditions may discover lots of things, but 

 upon the farmer will be laid the responsibility of over- 

 coming them. We must go back to the soil. The people 

 of the cities are consumers — not producers — and from 

 them goes up a continuous cry for more fruit — better fruit 



The doctors are growing wise. They know now, better 

 than ever before, that drugs will not take the place of 

 proper food — and the proper food to prevent many of 

 the ills of mankind is fruit. Therefore, they are advising 

 people to eat fruit and plenty of it. You know the old 

 adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" 

 — doctors are working on this principle, but the people 

 can't get the fruit. What is on the city markets today 

 brings outrageous prices and is often poor in quality. 

 The farmer who can put into market high-class fruit, 

 packed properly, may demand his own price for it, and a 

 good orchard these days is better than a gold mine — 

 for the mine may run out. To produce good fruit you 

 must have good trees and plants. 



You Have the Placebo Grow Fruit 

 We Have Fruit Trees and Plants 

 —Let's Combine Forces and Win! 



We are the largest growers of fruit trees and plants in the country. 

 That may seem a bold assertion to make, but to prove it we need only 

 explain that our nursery consists of over 2000 acres. It is located in a 

 section where fruit trees and plants grow to perfection. All the con- 

 ditions of soil and climate combine to entitle our part of the country to 

 the name, "America's Eden," and trees produced here grow and thrive 

 and produce fruit, no matter where they may be planted. 



We grow only tested fruits — the kind that can be depended upon, and 

 we have been supplying trees and plants to the same people for years. 

 Persons who once buy from us come back year after year, and we 

 don't believe there is a like concern in the country which has so many 

 steady customers. This shows that our product is right and our prices 

 are right — our immense acreage and the experience of two generations 

 make it possible to produce the finest kind of stock at the least cost, 

 and our patrons get the benefit. 



Send for our free Catalogue — it won't obligate yon to bay, bat it will open 

 your eyes to the great advantages of getting your trees and plants from us.

John Davey has spent a long lifetime among the trees. 

 He knows them and understands them; has studied them 

 and experimented with them. He loves and encourages 

 them, and works with and for them all the time. He has 

 come to be known as the greatest tree authority in this 

 country, and has been called "a brother to the trees." He 

 has delivered lectures upon tree subjects all over the 

 United States and is known as a missionary working in 

 the interests of the trees. It is not strange that he should 

 have solved most of the problems of tree life, therefore, or 

 that he should have originated the science of tree surgery.

A Scientific System 

 That Saves Tree Life 



It has been found by John Davey 

 that there is no necessity for trees' 

 dying. If they are properly treated 

 they will live almost indefinitely. No 

 matter how badly a tree is injured, he can treat it, and bind up its 

 wounds, and in most cases it will live. He can save the life of trees 

 that are badly decayed, and strengthen those that have become weak- 

 ened from improper usage. Many people do not realize that their 

 trees are diseased or injured until the trees begin to die. Thousands 

 of fine trees die every year that could have been saved, if an expert 

 had examined them and treated them in time. 



Davey Tree Surgeons 

 Are Trained by John Davey 



Trees are too valuable to be given into the keeping of the tree 



butcher. Consult an expert concerning their condition. The tree 



experts, operating under the T"l 



directions of John Davey * He 



and trained in his school of 



tree surgery will inspect 



your trees and tell you what they need. It costs you nothing to consult 



them. Write them today and tell them the number of trees you own, 



and where they are located. They will at once advise you as to the 



terms on which you can arrange to have your trees treated. 



" Our Wounded Friends, the Trees " 



Graphically describes tree facts, many of them heretofore untold, and 

 gives in detail the Davey methods of tree preservation. This book is 

 unique, just as the Davey system is essentially original. It explains 

 the superior efficiency of Davey methods and tells why only experts 

 should be employed for tree surgery. The book has cost too much to 

 permit promiscuous distribution, but we shall be glad to forward a copy, 

 Free, on request, to any person in the Mississippi Valley or Eastward 

 who has fine trees that are decaying and who is interested in saving them.
