“I’ll let it wait.” The death sentence of many a fine, patrician tree has been pro¬ 
nounced when its owner said, “I’ll let it w T ait.” 
Decay does not “wait.” Decay results from disease that gives no quarter. It eats with 
grim progressiveness into the living wood-tissue of trees. To neglect it is dangerous—ulti¬ 
mately fatal. The regrading of a lawn, repair of a drive, building alterations—these things 
you can “put off” if something must wait. But you cannot ignore the mute appeal of 
your trees for help. 
Trees are living, breathing things. The attacks of disease and insect enemies, the ill-effects 
of hunger and thirst and other adverse conditions are dangers that must be discovered and 
checked without delay—or it will soon be too late. Often the untrained eye cannot discern 
the menace. A splendid, vigorous tree looks to be in the bloom of health; but it mag be so 
weakened by hidden decay that it is but a shell, ready to crash to earth in the first high wind. 
To “put off" examination and treatment of your trees also means increased cost. Little 
decay cavities can be quickly and economically treated by real Tree Surgeons. As they 
grow larger, the cost of saving the tree becomes proportionately greater. 
For your priceless trees you will want Tree Surgeons of unquestioned skill and established 
responsibility. Davey Tree Surgeons have, during a generation of honest service, met the 
highest expectations of thousands of America’s estate owners. 
Do you know the true condition of your trees? You certainly ought to—you owe it to 
yourself. Davey Tree Surgeons will, by appointment, give them a careful examination and 
render an accurate report. Illustrated booklet sent upon request.
