Because of its strong, vigorous growth, its unusual climbing I 



propensities, and its remarkable hardiness, the beautiful I 



Euonymus radicans proves a most satisfactory ! 



High -Climbing Evergreen 

 i — Vine for City Homes — 



Its leaves are small and glossy, and grow thickly: it bears 

 numerous showy fruits in striking contrast to its foliage. 

 Many authorities consider Euonymus radicans a better ever- 

 green vine than the English Ivy. Also useful for low hedge, 

 if properly trimmed.

"The Salvation of Our Trees" 



Educational Lecture by John Davey 



"The Father of Tree Surgery 



John Davey, the world's greatest tree expert, who gave to mankind the won- 

 derful profession of tree surgery, is rounding out his useful life by the delivery of 

 an illustrated lecture, "The Salvation of Our Trees," that arouses each com- 

 munity in which it is heard to the needs of its trees. Knowledge of trees, founded 

 on abiding love for them, enables Mr. Davey to speak with convincing force. 



This lecture, using over 150 beautiful lantern slides, illustrates real trees, por- 

 traying every phase of tree life — perfect and imperfect trees; sick and wounded 

 trees ; neglected and "butchered" trees ; improperly treated trees, and trees that 

 liave been saved by the science of tree surgery, properly applied. 



Mr. Davey, describes with powerful effect the wonders of tree life, from an en- 

 tirely new standpoint. His words are the expression of a life experience, and ap- 

 peal to the best emotions of his hearers — for a deeper appreciation of the signifi- 

 cance of trees and a tenderer regard for their welfare. 

 "The Salvation of Our Trees" is practical, yet entertaining; instructive, but filled with human interest; 

 original, and little less than astounding in many of its revelations. The president of the American Civic 

 Association said of this lecture "I wish ten thousand communities might hear it; that would mean the sal- 

 vation of a million trees." 



Fall and winter engagements for Mr. Davey are rapidly being completed. Special rates will be made to 

 Park Commissions, Civic Improvement Societies, Boards of Trade, Schools and Colleges, Women's Clubs and 

 Chautauquas. Those interested should write promptly, for open dates, booklets and full information.
