Entirely hardy everywhere. Really the 
most rapid growing hardwood tree in ex- 
istence. Resisting high winds, ice, better 
than most trees. Add to these features the 
deep roots, never sapping the surface soil, 
the beautiful outline of the crown without 
pruning, and the clean foliage, free from 
disease or other pests. You can grow flow- 
ers or grass with extra good success under 
this tree, even in Jater years, when some 
trees would interfere with the lawn. When 
you select a Thornless Locust for your 
shade tree you are making a good choice.
