A FINE house is built in a setting of magnificent trees and gives 
promise of great and permanent beauty. Drives are built and per¬ 
haps half the roots of the adjacent trees are cut away. The trees die or 
become half dead—ugly objects of the landscape. 
The lawn is graded. Heavv soil is dumped over the roots of the trees. 
No care or knowledge is used to protect these priceless features of the 
landscape. The trees die—nine times out of ten. He who says that 
it does not hurt to bury the roots of trees, does not know trees. 
On the other hand, many an estate owner walks by some fine old trees 
on his place that are going to premature destruction from internal decay. 
The leaves may still be green and the trunks a mere shell, ready to break 
apart or topjjle over in a wind storm. He is unconscious of impending 
loss, because he has had no occasion to learn how trees live—or how and 
why they die. 
The very first tiling—you owe this to yourself—you ought to do to pro¬ 
tect the cash value of your trees, is to secure the advice and suggestions 
of a Davey Tree Surgeon. A careful examination of your trees will be 
made by appointment.
