[Illustration: _TREE IN COURSE OF REMOVAL WITH ONE OF BARRON'S MACHINES._] CHAPTER XX REMOVAL OF LARGE TREES AND SHRUBS Probably no garden operation requires more time and labour than the proper removal of large trees and shrubs from one part of a garden to another. Time, as it will take two, or even three, days to remove a large tree to a distance; and labour, as the services of from eight to twelve men will be required to accomplish the work. It is not, therefore, an operation to be lightly undertaken or got through in a hurry. Before proceeding to describe the various ways of moving large specimen plants, it will be well to consider the trees and shrubs that are generally required to be moved. Three numbered lists are given arranged according to the roots of the shrubs or trees--that is, those that, when they have stood for some time in one place, are most alike as regards the way their roots are placed together; and the lists are also some guide when transplanting, as the chances of life after removal are greatest in No. 1, less in No. 2, and considerably lower in No. 3. _No. 1._ Andromeda. Azalea. Clethra. Kalmia. Rhododendron. Vaccinium. _No. 2._ Ailantus. Alder. Almond. Amelanchier. Ash. Beech. Birch. Box. Celtis. Chestnut. Crataegus. Elm. Flowering Cherries. Hornbeam. Horse-Chestnut. Laburnum. Lime. Malus. Maple. Mulberry. Oak. Peach. Plane. Poplar. Pyrus. Robinia. Willow. _No. 3._ Arbutus. Aucuba. Bay Laurel. Carya. Catalpa. Cotoneaster
