JOHN DAVEY 

 Father of Tree Surgery 



OFTEN an estate owner is puzzled to find some of his magnificent trees slowly dying — 

 without apparent cause. Little does he suspect that, in spite of abundant rainfall, they 

 may be dying of thirst! 



Nine times out of ten a thick layer of earth or heavy sod will kill trees; almost always the 

 serious maiming of roots in landscape alterations prove fatal. Denied moisture or air at the 

 roots, the staunchest trees will literally die of thirst or smother to death. Only one thing 

 can possibly save it — a real Tree Surgeon quick at first signs of danger. 



Just as stealthily and surely, decay kills trees. The top may appear in perfect health, the 

 leaves green — but the merciless decay is atwork inside the trunk, hidden from the untrained eye. 

 Then reduced to a hollow shell, any severe storm may crash it to the ground without warning. 



Are your trees as healthy and strong as they seem to you? You owe it to yourself to make 

 certain now and if necessary, to give them correct treatment. A careful examination of your 

 trees will be made by appointment. 



Davey Tree Surgeons offer you the utmost in scientific Tree Surgery enriched by a genera- 

 tion of wide practical experience. They offer the assurance of an organization of established 

 stability whose members honor a fine tradition of conscientious service. Illustrated book-
