. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 22 The Florists^ Review Apbil 20. 1922 "Do it right, of not at all" The following letter was written hif "Father John" Davey to the men in the Davey organization. It is reprodueed here to give you an idea of the spirit behind these master Tree Surgeons DEAR BOVS": DO IT RIGHT, OR XOT AT ALL." It was my father's and has been my slogan for seventy-two years. Here is its history, as 1 know it: I was nearly four years old. My father was planting- potatoes, in front of our neat little cottage, on a fine May evening. I asked him if I could plant some. He opened up a trencli at the end near- est the house. Then took a potato and said: "If I let vou plant it will you do it RIGHT r' "I will do what vou tell me."
