Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer03bail Year: 1906 (X>i,). tal and the fertile tree is therefore to be preferred for planting. G. triacanthos is a useful native. G. Jtiponica and G. ferox are almost hardy North. They are very valuable trees for park planting and for ave- nues, and make almost impenetrable hedges if planted thickly and pruned severely. The coarse-grained wood is durable and strong. The pulp of the pods of G. Iri- ucanthos is sweet when fresh, hence the name Honey Locust, but becomes bitter at length ; in Japan it has been used as a substitute for soap. The Gleditschias are of vigorous growth and thrive in almost any soil. Prop. GLEDITSCHIA by seeds sown in spring about 1 in. deep, they should be soaked in hot water before being sown; varieties and rare kinds are sometimes grafted on seedlings of G. h-i- acanthos in spring. About 10 species in N. America, Asia and Africa. Lvs. alternate, abruptly pinnate, often partly bipinnate on the same leaf, or wholly bipinnate, both usually on the same tree : fls. polygamous ; calyx lobes and petals 3-5, stamens 6-10 : pod compressed, mostly large and indehiscent, 1-many-seeded. A. Pod thin • walled : lvs. pinnate witll more than IJ Ifts., or bipinnate. tiiacinthos, Linn. Honey or Sweet Locust. Three- THOBNED Acacia. Fig. 917.
