It was not his original purpose to found a great business, but rather to do a great service for his adopted country that he loved. The Davey organization was a natural and logical outgrowth of the public demand that was cre- ated for the services of skilled and reliable Tree Surgeons. While the Davey organization itself is 25 years old, the science of Tree Surgery was born nearly a half century ago in the mind and heart of John Davey, who saw with understanding eyesthe tragic and unnecessary loss of priceless trees. John Davey taught the philosophy of the tree as a living thing, as of elemental value to all life, as of incomparable beauty and loveliness.
