Honey Locust (Thornless) (My Introduction) 
Gleditsia triacanthos inermis Sweet pods for cattle feed. 
Bears 3-5 years 
Famous for growth value. 
The agricultural Experiment Station at Auburn, Ala- 
vate reports in their 53rd annual report these startling 
acts: 
‘“Auburn’s animal husbandry has found their pods equal 
to oats pound for pound in a dairy ration. A team of 
mules fed for 30 days on pods showed satisfactory results. 
Cows and hogs showed equal success. 
“BEARING. At 5 years of age Millwood averages 58 
pounds, Calhoun 26 pounds. At eight years, Millwood 
200 pounds. Calhoun 60. 
‘Pods fall October 15th to December 30th. 
‘Tree interplanted to Lespedeza serica, cuts 2 ls tons 
I I ) me 
per acre annually.” 
Although Auburn recommends 30 x 30 ft. planting I 
prefer 40 ft. to 50 ft. I have 300 planted 45 x 45 ft. Their 
8 year trees bore, figured in oats value with 20 trees per 
acre equal 125 bushels per acre, plus a crop of hay or 
pasture without cost of annual field preparation, planting 
and harvesting. Mature trees will grow as much as 300 
bushels of Oats food value, per acre. 
A note just in, their 9 yr, trees—bore 250 lbs. 
My 300 odd trees, 3 years old, in a meadow so poor you 
can’t raise your voice on are roaring toward “that big 
crop per acre at maturity, see complete food analysis in 
25¢ booklet. 
No one knows what it means to me to have such a Station 
back up my statements by their research. 
For the city farm owner wishing to make the most out 
of his land with the least care here’s your tree. I’ve set 
them on the worn-outest land in Tenn. and they grew and 
thrived. Set your pasture with these upper story forage 
producers. 
I’ve seen them grow in semi swamps and with only 
10 inches of rainfall in Colorado. 
The small root system will make it easy for you and the 
Mrs. to put in a lot of them in one day. 
Due to moving our nursery we’re offering the middle 
sizes at a greatly reduced hundred rate. Take advantage 
of it. We find a tree over 6 ft. is 3 yrs. ahead of a 3-4 ft. 
size the second year. 75 at the hundred rate.
