TKUXK OF HONEY LOCUST WITH THORN'S. 



The- lionev locust has few insect pests and no serious disease to contend with. It 

 is by no means a slow growing tree, if reasonable care is used in the planting and 

 subsequent treatment. 



The honey locust makes an excellent screen, where planted closely, and 

 is used in places for a hedge, but does not thicken up sufficiently to make an 

 effective protection against hogs. 



The ease with which it is grown, hardiness, rapid maturity, and general 

 value of the timber should commend the honey locust for extensive forest planting.
