Trees die from 
unprotected wounds 
Daveyite prevents decay 
Decay kills trees. Decay starts in 
unprotected wounds, whether 
caused by pruning or accident. 
Spores of fungus disease alight 
on the exposed woody tissues, 
grow, and result in rot. Grad¬ 
ually the tree weakens. Suddenly 
a heavy windstorm hits it and— 
crash—the tree is gone. 
Tree wounds must be protected 
against infection and decay. 
Daveyite does this. Ordinary paint 
will not do. It is too thin, not 
durable, and will not work on wood 
saturated with sap. 
A good wound dressing for trees 
must be sufficiently heavy but ad¬ 
hesive, durable, antiseptic but harm¬ 
less to growing bark. It must not 
run in summer nor crack in winter. 
That’s Daveyite. 
Davey Tree Surgeons produced 
Daveyite after long ex¬ 
periment. They have 
proved it in several 
years’ work upon 
America’s finest 
estates. They recom¬ 
mend it and back it 
with their reputation. 
Don’t risk losing 
your priceless trees. 
Send $5 for a gallon 
can of Davey¬ 
ite. Keep it on

insurance. Sat¬
