W. BARRON k SON'S TRANSPLANTING MACHINES. 



These Transplanting Machines have removed both Evergreens and Deciduous Trees 

 over 50 feet high, to considerable distances, with almost invariable success. By the use 

 of these Machines an effect can be produced at once which could not be otherwise 

 accomplished in one or two generations ; so that a place is soon made enjoyable to its 

 possessor, and tre'e's of great beauty and value can be removed to more suitable sites, or 

 prevented from being spoiled when planted too near others. 



They were invented by William Barron, the first of them being used in February, 

 1831. In November, 1831, he Transplanted a Cedar of Lebanon, forty-three feet high, 

 and forty-eight feet in diameter of branches ; the stem of this Cedar, which at that time 

 was two feet in diameter, is now more than ten feet in circumference. A Tree seventy- 

 two feet high, was moved more than two miles in an upright position. Yews from six 

 to eight hundred years old have been moved with the greatest success. Oaks and 

 Larches from forty to fifty feet high have been moved in the middle of summer without 

 losing a leaf. Large Spruce and Silver Firs on the limestone formation, have made a 

 shoot eighteen inches in length the second year after their removal. 



Axaong others, we have built Machines for

TESTIMONIALS. 



Tandragee Castle, County Armagh, Ireland, 

 4th March, 1869. 

 Gentlemen, 



With one of your large machines we have transplanted over 130 trees 

 of 40 years' growth, including Spanish Chestnuts, Limes, Sycamores, and Oaks but 

 chiefly the latter with balls varying from three to eight tons, and in every instance 

 with complete success. 



I remain your obedient servant, 



J. FOBDTCE, 

 Agent to His Grace the Duke of Manchester. 



Millichope Park, Church Stretton, Shropshire, March 22, 1869. 

 My dear Sir, 



I have much pleasure in certifying as to the great success of the opera- 

 tions in tree-moving, which were carried on at this place under your directions, between 

 the years 1858 and 1861. During that period there were moved here, on your system, 

 without any regard to time of year, a great number of trees of all sorts and sizes, but 

 mostly Evergreens ; a good many of these being Yews of large size and of great age. 



From my experience of your system, I have no hesitation in saying that, if the 

 directions given are duly carried out in all respects, complete success may be considered 

 a certainty. 



I am, dear Sir, yours very truly, 

 Wm. Barron, Esq. C. O. CHILDE PEMBERTON. 



Thornhill, Cowes, Isle of Wight, June 4, 1869. 

 Sir, 



I have very great pleasure in bearing testimony to the success which has 

 attended the removal of some hundred of large trees upon your system at my place, 

 Lillesden, in Kent, and to the perfect efficiency of your machines, and the intelligence 

 and zeal of the men you send with them. The beauty of my place has been increased, 

 under your aid, in a degree, which, under any other plan, must have been the result of a 

 century. 



I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, 



EDWARD LLOYD, 

 Mr. William Barron. Of Lillesden, Lieut. -Col.
