The Moving of Large Trees 
_ For many years we have made aospecialty of this branch of the nursery business, and every year 
u IS growing in importance and value. By the moving of large trees as practiced by us it is possible 
to create effects that were not dreamed of a short time ago, and, now that we have demonstrated its 
possibilities, we have often been called 
upon to convert in a short time a barrea 
piece of the countryside into a place 
which, by the slow growth of nature,, 
would take at least fifty years to produce. 
We pay a great deal of attention ta 
the growing of large stock for trans- 
planting, and by careful and consistent- 
cultivation, combined with frequent- 
moving in the nursery, produce decidu- 
ous and evergreen trees with great quan» 
titles of fibrous roots, insuring their safe- 
removal at almost any time of the year,, 
under proper conditions. 
The illustration on this page shows ai 
Norway Maple transplanted from our 
nursery when its trunk measured eight 
inches in diameter. This tree was moved 
in early spring, and the photograph was. 
taken the following summer. In the 
same picture are a number of evergreens- 
transplanted at the same time, producing 
an effect otherwise obtainable only by- 
many years of growth. 
One year before the photograph repro- 
duced on page 20 was taken, the prop- 
erty in the picture was a bleak and barren 
field. By means of the extra-large stock 
of Norway Maples we supply for street 
planting and the judicious transplanting 
of large deciduous and evergreen trees, 
we converted the place into a home, such 
as could have been made only by the 
growth of a generation of years. Thus it will be seen that it is possible to transform a wilderness inta 
a thing of beauty, and no one need be deterred from building a country home by reason of a lack of 
trees and shrubbery in the particular place they desire to build. All the prospective buyer need do is to. 
supply the place, and ve will furnish plans, specifications and material for its planting on any scale. 
We also make a feature of transplanting trees from one part of the country to another, no matter 
how large they may be. Show us the tree and we will place it anywhere you wish. 
We shall be pleased lo hear from those interested in the subject of transplanting large trees and: 
•hrubbery, as with the improved machinery we have for the purpose, and our magnificent stock ot 
material, we are in a position to execute the largest, as well as the smallest, schemes of planting.
