It gives me pleasure
to state that examina-
tion of the trees upon
our “ Guynedd’ ’ place
evidences that in
every case healing is
going on most satis-
factorily. This is es-
pecially so in the case
of a large maple tree
that I rather despaired
of saving. Your men
showed thorough
competency and skill,
combined with the
conduct of courteous
gentlemen.

THE DAVEY TREE EXPERTS are just what
the name implies—John Davey’s selection of clean and
intelligent men, whom he has trained with religious care
in the art of Tree Surgery. Those men, and none
others, are fully qualified to administer proper treatment to
sick, wounded trees.
THE DAVEY INSTITUTE OF TREE SUR-
GERY is maintained at heavy expense for the sole pur-
pose of schooling men regarding tree iife, insect enemies
of trees, tree diseases, proper remedies, and the theory
and practice of Tree Surgery.
The service of the Davey Tree Expert Com-
pany is available east of the Missouri River for
those who desire quality at a cost which is not
in any sense unreasonable. Send today for
handsome booklet and full information. When
you write, tell us how many trees you have.

The work that you
have done on my
place in doctoring
many of our fine trees
and in preventing
further decay, com-
mends itself to us,
and I gladly recom-
mend you to others
in need of scientific
treatment of their
trees. It appears to
me to be money well
spent for others to se-
riously look after the
health of their trees.

RESPONSIBILITY is of vastly greater
importance than the matter of a few cents
more or less per hour when it comes to the
treatment of trees, as it is in any other profes-
sion that deals with living things.
SKILL in the art of Tree Surgery is not
acquired from books, neither obtained in Agri-
cultural Colleges nor Forestry Schools. These
institutions fill an important place, but they
do not teach correct Tree Surgery.
JOHN DAVEY created Tree Surgery.
The idea is his; the methods are his. All
advancement in this science is the direct
result of his work. The whole profession of
treatment of trees radiates from the unique per-
sonality of this tree-loving man.
