Transplanting Large Trees* 



jfOR the past nine years I have been transplanting 

 large trees with complete success, usiny the 

 machine pictured below. The operation is so thor- 

 ough that frequently the tree moved will grow more 

 in one year after being transplanted than it grew the 

 two previous years. The fibrous roots are not dis- 

 turbed; only the heavy stay roots. The latter fur- 

 nish practically no nourishment to the tree, but, as 

 the name implies, are supplied by nature to hold the 

 tree erect. VVhen the stay roots are severed and the 

 ends cut smoothly, they emit hundreds of fibrous 

 ones, which take up an extreme amount of nourish- 

 ment and consequently cause the tree to grow with 

 renewed vigor. 



During the period named, I have had the pleas- 

 ure to move numerous large trees for the following 

 named gentlemen: Mr Klias Asiel, 52 Broadway, 

 New York City; Mr W. A. Bloodgood, Seabright, 

 New Jersey; Mr. John If. Cook, Red Bank, New 

 Jersey; Mr. Robert L Crawford, Seabright, New 

 Jersey; General Thomas T. Eckert, Eiberon, N. J.; 

 Mr. Daniel Guggenheim, Eiberon, New Jersey; Mr. 

 Murray Guggenheim, West End, New Jersey; Hon. 

 Thomas X. McCarter, Newark, X. J.; The late John 

 A. McUall; Mr. Clarence M Roof, Lakewood, New 

 Jersey; Mr. P. Sandfo-d Ross, Jersey City, N. J.; 

 Mr. Chester M. Williams, Little Silver, N. J. 



Estimates promptly furnished to any one who 

 wishes work of this character done ; our representa- 

 tive will call if desired. 



Landscape Department* 



In this progressive age, it is seldom that anyone 

 builds a house without first securing the services of 

 an architect. The aid of a competent landscape gar- 

 dener is even more necessary to properly plan and 

 execute ornamental plantings than is the assistance 

 of an architect in the construction of a building The 

 lack of professional advice in ornamenting the 

 grounds of many country homes is largely responsible 

 for their unattractive appearance. A competent 

 landscape gardener will not only produce pleasing 

 and delightful effects, but will save the owner much 

 monev; to say nothing of the annoyance and loss of 

 time caused by making alterations and additions in 

 order to secure satisfactory results. 



For over thirty years I have been engaged in 

 laying out and planting both large and small private 

 estates, public parks, etc. My patrons are people of 

 refined taste — exacting and critical — and it is to them 

 I refer. 1 make plans and estimates of cost for land-

scape work of any character or any extent. "Where 

 important work is contemplated upon large grounds 

 a personal visit to the property is necessary ; for 

 grounds of limited extent, I am usually able to make 

 a plan, if but a rough outline, giving distances and 

 location of buildings, is mailed me. My prices for 

 supplying and planting the nursery stock required to 

 execute the plans, are so moderate that my estimate 

 is usually accepted ; hence it is but rarely that I 

 make any charge for a plan.
