five to Fifty Years of Age Brought,
Some of Them from Miles Distant, and
II Replanted-Some of Them Fifty Feet
| High.
| A very interesting sight is the work of
| tree planting on the beautiful and spa
cious lawn in front of the residence of
Nicholas Hubinger on Whalley avenue,
which is one of the largest and finest
in Connecticut. Mr.. Hubinger is hav-
ing about twenty-five trees ranging in
| age from twenty-five to fifty years re-
planted and a dozen or more are al
ready rearing their stately heads on his
| premises, most of which were a few
days ago dwelling in what was former
ly East Haven soil, but now is in the
and well selected trees they are and
greatly will they add to the appear
ance of the fine stretch of lawn at Mr..
Hubinger's stately mansion People
from far and near are attracted to the
spot to see the replanting of these
trees. The probabilities are that each
and every one will take kindly and
naturally to their new home and To-
cation and the more SO because in re-
moving them big circumference of the
native earth in which the trees were
born is brought with them to the trees
new home. Carefully and. tenderly the
removal of trees is done and wonder
fully successful is this work, which is
done by The Large Tree company of
New York, which has won national
fame for successfully transplanting
trees The company has the most pow
erful of apparatus and appliances for
the work and the most skilful manage
ment and the trees take to their re-
moval kindly and gracefully and put
forth new life in their new surround
ings. The Large Tree company has for
its president r. Cortland Horr, very
able man for the position and it's man
ager is a New Haven man, Wayland l.
Dickerman, who has had excellent bust
ness training and responsible positions
before and is meeting with thorough
success. The Large Tree company now
has its principal office and headquarters
in Philadelphia and it's New York Of
flee at 400 Bennett building, 1897 Mas
sau street New York, and is execut-
ing contracts in Philadelphia and
Scranton, Pa, White Plains and Buff
falo, N. Y. Elberon, N. j., and other
places.
The company uses the famous Ryder
Patent Tree moving apparatus, which
beats all records for successful work.
Mr.. Hubinger takes personal delight in
the replanting at his grounds, being
great lover of fine trees as well as of
fine horses, he having owned and now |
owning some of the famous flyers of the |
United States. The new trees of which |
he is now the happy possessor are pur-
pie beeches, Norway naples, Norway |
spruce white woods, pin oaks weeping |
willows and one weeping elm, a great |
curiosity with it's inverted branches. |
This transplanting of big trees is of |
course an immense advantage in the |
decoration of grounds, as by the Large |
Tree company's work lawns or parks
or other grounds can be in week or
two adorned with large foliage trees
instead of waiting for such result al
most a mans lifetime. The circumfer-
ence of the trees replanted at Mr.. HUI
bingers is from 80 to Sc inches, and
some of them are so feet in height. The
Large Tree company set out two years
ago 200 big trees in principal streets in
Jamaica, LII, every one Of which wasthis
summer in fine condition. The weight
Of one oak 81 feet high with earth at
Eached, on the removal machine of the
company, was twelve tone. The COM
pany has also an order to execute in
his city from President Eli Whitney of
The New Haven Water company for the
Of several fine trees to his
residential grounds on Whitney avenue
and the company will receive orders
'or immediate work here if delivered
soon. Orders may be left at this Office
addressed to the New York Large Tree
Manager Dickerman and
Malcolm Ryder, the gifted inventor Of
he Ryder Tree moving apparatus are
stopping at the Morris Cove house dur
ng the execution Of orders here.
