MORAINE LOCUST 
Sensational New Fast Growing Tree 
The Moraine Locust is the shade tree that couldn’t be much 
better if it was specifically bred for the needs of today. For 
the many new homes that have no shade whatsoever, the 
Moraine Locust will provide shade quicker than any tree we 
know of. Yet, the Moraine is a good tree—long-lived, drought 
resistant, and will grow on any soil. 
The Moraine Locust is today’s shade tree because of the 
following features: 
1. Seedless. Unlike other Locusts, the Moraine is sterile, thus 
there are no unsightly seedpods to clean up in the fall. 
Non-fruiting habit permits better foliage. 
Grows Anywhere. Seems to produce good growth on any 
kind of soil, but responds favorably to extra feeding. 
3. Long-Lived. A common Honey Locust recently cut down 
in Ohio proved to be 327 years old. There is every reason 
to believe that the MORAINE LOCUST, too, will be a 
long-lived tree. 
Hardy. Common Honey Locust is native from New York 
to Minnesota and from Texas to Ontario. The Minnesota 
Horticultural Extension Department recommends it 
throughout the southern half of Minnesota. The MOR- 
AINE LOCUST should withstand the same extremes in 
temperature. 
Beneficial Effect on Lawn. Due to good shape of the tree 
and the fine foliage, enough light filters through to per- 
mit growth of excellent lawns, but adequate shade to pre- 
vent growth of crab grass. 
We know of no other shade tree that possesses the many fine 
features of the MORAINE LOCUST. It more adequately 
fills the needs of today than any other tree. For shade in a 
hurry, plant MORAINE LOCUST. Plant Patent No. 836. 
Price: 5-6 ft. whips, $5.00 each; 2 for $9.75. 
Crimson King Maple 
very fast grower 
HARD or SUGAR MAPLE 
(Picture Above) 
One of the finest and most colorful of all the Maples—a beau- 
tiful shade or boulevard tree. Brilliant yellow, orange or 
scarlet foliage in the fall. A stately, compact and graceful 
tree. 6-8 ft., $6.45 each; 2 for $12.65. 5-6 ft., $4.75 each; 
2 for $9.25. 
CRIMSON KING MAPLE 
This new tree is causing a sensation. A form of Norway Maple, 
the Crimson King is unusual in that the leaves come out in the 
spring the brightest crimson you've ever seen. As the sum- 
mer wears on, the leaves gradually turn to a deep, rich ma- 
roon. For color throughout the entire summer, Crimson King 
is by all odds the leader. Plant Patent No. 735. 5-6 ft. whips, 
$4.95 each; 2 for $9.65.
