Our experience has shown us that not more than one in ten of these so-called tree men from the outside is the right kind of man. None of them are real ex- perts when they come to us. All of them have many things to unlearn. The Davey Research Department does the experimenting—the client's trees are never experimented upon In addition to all these other things, we maintain a Research Department in charge of scientists of practical expe- rience. It is their duty to work out every scientific and practical problem of Tree Surgery, as fast as possible. They have done wonderful work. They gather data from every available source, particularly from the experience of the Davey or- ganization, in addition to original experi- ments. Kvery experiment is conducted in Kent by our Research Department and never on the trees of a client.

On these trees our experts are permitted to do only first-aid work.
