TAKE CARE OF YOUR TREES 
Don’t make the mistake of taking your trees for granted. This is a common error of many home 
owners. They have real value, as you would quickly find out should you have to make a replacement. 
It takes many years to grow a fine specimen, which, if weakened through neglect, can be ruined in 
a few moments during a severe storm. Trees eat, breathe, and become diseased—just like humans. 
It, therefore, is necessary to call in an expert at intervals to inspect and suggest how to keep 
them in a healthy condition. 
SPRAYING 
Trees are attacked by 
many insects. Some chew 
the leaves and others suck 
the sap from the leaves 
and bark. There is but 
one way to check these 
pests and that is by spray¬ 
ing at the proper seasons. 
A properly sprayed tree 
is adequately protected 
through the entire season. 
PRUNING 
Dead and dying limbs 
in your trees are not only 
unsightly, but also pro¬ 
vide a breeding ground 
for insects and diseases. 
Therefore pruning is high¬ 
ly important to the ap¬ 
pearance and health of 
trees and consists of the 
removal of all dead, dis¬ 
eased, interfering, and un¬ 
desirable limbs, and the 
painting of all cuts with a 
compound which waterproofs, preserves, and 
acts as an antiseptic. 
FEEDING 
The first step in pre¬ 
serving your trees is to 
keep them well nourished. 
An under-nourished tree, 
like an underfed person, 
is susceptible to disease 
and the attacks of insects 
and borers. In our forests, 
trees are fed by decaying 
leaves. This, of course, 
does not occur where trees 
are growing around homes 
■M* 
as the leaves are raked up and not allowed to rot. 
Therefore, it becomes necessary to feed them 
artificially. 
TREE SURGERY 
In certain cases where 
decay has penetrated far 
into the tree, surgery is 
necessary. This is a 
highly scientific procedure 
and should only be at¬ 
tempted by experienced 
workmen. Our men, un¬ 
der the expert direction 
of Mr. Jenner, are capable 
of handling any work of 
this type you may need. 
BRACING 
The beauty and sym¬ 
metry of a tree are often 
lost by storm damage. 
This can be prevented by 
the proper bracing of 
structurally weak trees. 
We wish to impress 
upon you the fact that 
we want only satisfied 
clients, and our aim is to 
advise only the essential 
work at extremely moderate prices. You will be 
pleasantly surprised to learn how economically 
you can give your trees proper care. Have your 
trees inspected yearly and attend to the necessary 
work. You will find this way most economical. 
It will cost you nothing and place you under no 
obligation to call in our Mr. Jenner for advice on 
the treatment of your trees. He is waiting for 
your call, so don’t put it off. The longer that 
infection is left, the farther it will penetrate into 
the tree, and the more money it is going to cost to 
repair it. Get in touch with us today.
