MORAINE LOCUST 



Miiltitlora rose gives best results Avlien planted 

 in early spring. However ; fall plantings are nsuai- 

 ly successful if a mulch is applied to prevent frost 

 heaving. Fertile soil gives best results, and little 

 or no fertilizer is needed. However, on sandy or 

 poor soil some fertilizer and cultivation may be 

 needed to get the plants off to a good start. It is 

 best to prepare the land in the fall, but this can be 

 done just before planting. The soil should be well 

 cultivated, and if it is poorly drained, the plants 

 should be set on a ridge. A planting distance of 

 lS-24 in. apart in the row gives best results. The 

 roots should be completely covered and firmly pack- 

 ed into the ground. After planting it is best to 

 keep down weed competition and to use some fer- 

 tilizer in the spring for the first 2 or 3 years. For 

 further information we suggest you send 5c to the 

 United States Government Printing Ofiice, Wash- 

 ington 2.5, D. C. Ask for U.S.D.A. Leaflet No. 37 

 entitled "The Multiflora Rose".

MORAINE LOCUST 



(I'EANT PATENT NO. 836) 



Wonderful New Hardy Shade Tree 



Moraine locust has recently become quite popular 

 as a shade tree. It is very vigorous and hardy in 

 most of the northeast and produces a beautiful 

 tall-spreading tree with fine lace-like leaves. This 

 is truly a different type of tree that is a fine ad- 

 dition to any lawn area. The moraine locust is 

 thornless and does not produce seed pods. It is a 

 very tough tree and is not readily damaged by high 

 winds. Also this fine tree is very resistant to dis- 

 ease and insects. The fast growth of Moraine 

 locust will soon produce excellent specimen trees 

 that are truly magnificent. ! 



8-4 foot, well-rooted, vigorous trees are $4.95 1 

 each plus postage. (Shipping weight is approxi- 

 mately two pounds.) Postal Rates Page 17.
