W HEN druids worshipped in the dim groves of “the oaks of God*” men said that 
trees had souls. Today science has revealed to us a new wonder intreesas living 
things—organisms that breathe,assimilate food,grow, reproduce,suffer from disease, 
hunger and thirst. If you do not protect them from their enemies, they die prema¬ 
turely. Most tree troubles can be corrected by real Tree Surgeons—if taken in time. 
That is why to neglect your trees, to “put off” having them examined and treated 
where necessary, is to invite their ruin. Decay is insidious, and eats forward with 
grim progressiveness. It is frequently unapparent to the untrained eye. So with 
smothered roots, exhausted food supply, lack of water, insect enemies, external 
diseases, structural weaknesses,—to neglect them is generally fatal. 
That, too, is why trees must be treated by men thoroughly schooled in the science 
of saving trees as living things; why real Tree Surgery is an exacting science of 
the highest order.
