Honey Locust (Thornless) 
Gleditsia triacanthos inermis 
This new tree crop shows evidence of being one of the 
leading species of importance in the future of America’s 
tree crop program. The tree crop unit of the Tennessee 
Valley Authority has located a tree whose beans have the 
highest sugar content of any plant life. For this reason 
is is especially attractive for planting in pastures for fall 
and winter cattle food. Your cooperation and help in 
testing out this new species of crop tree will be appreci- 
ated. Do not confuse with “just honey locust.” These rare 
varieties are the selection of 3 national contests. Planting 
cheap seedlings will no more produce for you fine high- 
sugared pods than planting cheap seedling apples would 
result in a fine orchard of Stayman apples. Bears 3 to 5 
years.

SUPERIOR STRAIN 
Help advance the breeding of better nut trees in America 
while you grow timber 
For many years the thought has prevailed among lead- 
ing nut growers that a better nut could be obtained (one 
thinner shelled with finer meats) if only plant breeding 
could be done in a large way. The general thought was 
that one should plant out a large acreage and let them 
come into bearing, but no one could finance such an 
operation. After several years checking the performance 
of seedlings from improved seed and observing the value 
of settings of seedling black walnuts, I have evolved the 
following program. For those who wish to perpetuate 
this work, I am pleased to offer a method that will yield 
a profit instead of being purely scientific experiment and 
expense. 
I have arranged to obtain seed of the best growing 
variety of the black walnut from a grove of assorted 
varieties. Hence, the seedlings will all be crosses between 
the many different varieties in the grove. 
Whether you plant a few or many on your fence rows 
or in large blocks, you will have a rapid growing timber 
tree and have the possibility of producing a nut far 
superior to our present varieties. 
Remember, regardless of popular advice on reforest- 
ing, walnut trees will not thrive closer than 25 feet and 
30 feet is best. If you wish to reforest, use a mixture of 
other species. Note forest planting instruction in my 
book “Save America’s Nut Heritage.”
