Show DEVICE FOR MOVING BUSHES Lever Implement, Invented by Washington Wash-ington Man, Grips Near Bottom and Uproots Them Easily. For transplanting bushes and young trees the apparatus invented by a Washington man will be found a great help by nurserymen and landscape Handy for Nurseryman. gardeners. It Is so constructed that it will uproot a small tree with ease and without injuring it in the least. The implement is a long bar with a broad base and a second slidable bar attached to it. At the bottom of this second bar is a hook, which encircles the main bar and iB caught by the hook of a pull rod. This permits of the free movement of that portion of apparatus which does the gripping. If a tree or bush is to be uprooted the gardener thrusts the puller up to the bottom of it and fastens the hook around the tree. The puller is then drawn back and acts as a lever, literally lit-erally prying the tree out of the ground yet without injuring it in any way. Under other circumstances one man could not uproot a well-grown bush and would have to take the time to dig it up. |
