For moving: larg-er trees sliort distances, we have several other methods. 

 Xf largfe transplanted, trees are given as good care as is demanded by a bed of cannas during 

 the growing season, that is, the ground kept moist and fertile, and free from weeds, a good growth is made the 

 first year, and a more vigorous growth is frequently made in the succeeding years than the tree made on its 



original site. There have been no failures with deciduous trees 

 moved by us, except through cultural neglect that would not raise a 

 hill of corn or potatoes. AH our Evergreens moved with a ball of 

 earth have grown thriftily. 



We liave moved largfe specimens of the fol- 

 lOwiMg": Norway, Sugar, Sycamore, Swamp and Silver 

 Maples, Horse Chestnut, Pin Oak, Dogwood, Catalpa, Elm, Ashe, 

 European, American and Silver-leaved Lindens, Hornbeam, 

 Beech, Magnolia, Poplar and Willow. In fact, almost all de- 

 ciduous trees except, perhaps, the Hickory and Chestnut, which we 

 have not tried, can be safely moved. Also many kinds of evergreens, 

 including Spruce, Pine, Fir, Arborvitae, Retinospora and Cedar. 



Orders for moving: deciduous trees should be 

 given before August 20 for fall, which season is preferred for most 

 varieties, and before February 20 for spring. 



Everg:reens can toe moved at any season, 

 but moving them in June and July is not advisable.

 Island, Northern New Jersey and West Ches- 

 ter. With good roads we have no trouble in moving trees 40 miles, 

 and on open barges over ferries. Tree movers for sale.
