Thompson AR. 1940. Transplanting Trees and Other Woody Plants. Tree Preservation Bulletin 9. Civilian Conservation Corps. Washington, DC

Bulletin 9: Discusses how to move and transplant big trees and small trees and shrubs. Also discusses choices of plant materials and tree moving machinery. Bulletin 9 was revised in 1954 and renamed Bulletin 1. Only minor revisions were made to the original bulletin, mostly to the tree moving machinery sections. Tree Preservation Bulletins: In the 1930s The National Park Service was confronted with the problem of improving and maintaining in good condition thousands of valuable shade, ornamental, or historically significant trees within a variety of areas. In order to guide those who were responsible for this work in park areas, the Civilian Conservation Corps, under the direction of the National Park Service, published the Tree Preservation Bulletins. Although the bulletins were originally intended for park employees, they received wide use by arborists and others. Most of the bulletins were revised and updated in the late 1950s.
