Moving a Large Evergreen Tree with Tree Mover No. 4 . 
MOVING LARGE TREES. 
With large trees moved on our Tree Movers, the same effect can be produced immediately that the planter 
has to wait years for, if he uses small trees. We handle the trees in accordance with the scientific principles of 
growth and they live and grow well. There have been few failures with trees moved by us, except through 
cultural neglect that would ruin farm crops. &
