Gleditsia 
Gleditsia triacanthos Common Honeylocust 
A fast growing tree with compound, much-divided foliage, 
and fragrant, pea-like flowers. The lights and shadows 
through its foliage and its dainty fragrant flowers give an 
excellent effect. It can be used as a thorny, impenetrable 
hedge or allowed to grow into a splendid specimen tree of 
moderate size and irregular habit. It will thrive along the 
ocean in defiance of spray and gales, and seems to enjoy the 
rough, barren, sandy soil of Cape Cod and similar localities. 
We can highly recommend it for both beauty and endurance 
under the most difficult growing conditions.
