The MORAINE LOCUST... 
the tree of today and tomorrow... 
GRACEFUL FOLIAGE 
This stately new shade and ornamental 
tree has finely divided foliage and bears 
only sterile flowers hence can never 
produce unsightly seed pods. 
The MORAINE Locust is vigorous 
and fast growing. The parent tree has 
increased in diameter 16 inches in 15 
years. This is more rapid than either 
the soft maple or Chinese elm. Its 
growth can be accelerated by feeding 
but being a legume its demands are 
slight. 
“CLIMATE CONTROL” 
"House Beautiful” says, “Tall, decidu- 
ous trees planted relatively close to a 
house will shade the roof and walls in 
summer but allow the sun to reach 
the house in winter. Such trees clear 
of branches as high as the eaves do not 
interfere with visibility or air move- 
ment.’ The MORAINE Locust ac- 
quires the size and shape for ‘climate 
control” in a short time.

The “Moraine” Locust was developed, 
patented and introduced by The Sieben- 
thaler Company, at its Moraine Nur- 
series, Dayton, Ohio, hence the name 
“Moraine.” 
Note its many features 
1 THORNLESS. No dangerous, ugly 
e@ 
thorns like either the Honeylocust or 
the Black locust. 
VASE FORM. Vase-shaped and wide 
Jay. spreading when older, like stately old 
Elm trees. Branches are arching upward and 
outward, easily reaching over the tops of two 
story houses without obstructing view or ef- 
fecting air circulation. 
3 THRIVES UNDER CITY CONDI- 
e TIONS. The MORAINE Locust, like 
the common forms, is tolerant of smoke, soot 
and dust. 
HARDY. Common Honeylocust is 
4, native from New York to Minnesota 
and from Texas to Ontario, so the MORAINE 
Locust should withstand similar extremes of 
temperature. 
5 SEEDLESS. No unsightly seed pods 
e to clean up in fall or winter. Non- 
fruiting habit permits better foliage, hangs on 
later in fall. 
6 HARD WOODED. No damage from 
e wind or snow. May bend under heavy 
strain but rarely ever breaks or splits. 
7 HEAVY or LIGHT SOIL. Seems to 
e produce good growth on any kind of 
soil but responds favorably to extra feeding. 
8 BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON 
e LAWNS. Due to vase form and fine 
foliage, enough light filters through to permit 
growth of excellent lawn, but adequate shade 
to prevent growth of crab grass. 
9 WITHSTANDS DROUGHT or 
e FLOOD. Parent trees are native to 
Western Plains where rainfall is light, yet 
they may be found thriving in poorly drained 
soils. Prefer sunny exposed situations. 
10 EASILY TRANSPLANTED. 
e Nearly a thousand MORAINE 
Locust, five to six feet high, transplanted 
last fall and last spring without a single loss. 
| 1 LONG-LIVED. One common 
e Honeylocust recently cut down in 
Dayton, Ohio, showed 327 annual rings. There 
is every reason to believe that the MORAINE 
Locust, too, will be a long-lived tree.
