The ability of this unusual 

 dwarf peach to bear fruit is 

 evidenced by these two illustra- 

 tions. In addition, their beauty 

 and dwarf compact shape make 

 them a very worthwhile orna- 

 mental landscape plant, too. 



DWARF BONANZA PEACH 



You know it has to be unusual — and have extraordinary merit for 

 us to offer a peach tree. And that's just what Bonanza is. A true 

 dwarf ornamental peach that is lovely in bloom; produces full sized, 

 delicious fruit, and makes a fine, decorative ornamental. Bonanza 

 has all of the finest features of the most desirable peach trees, yet re- 

 quires only a 5 to 6 foot square of sunny garden space to grow. By 

 the second summer, and often even in the first summer, you'll be 

 harvesting full-size fruit, and enjoying the ornamental beauty of this 

 well-shaped tree. Bonanza will grow most anywhere any other peach 

 a sunny spot. and good garden soil is all that is 

 needed. Taking only 5 to 6 feet of 

 space there's a place for it in every 

 home planting. Its size and beauty 

 make it an ideal ornamental for use as 

 a single specimen — used as a hedge — a 

 border along walks or walls — even in a 

 container for porch or terrace. Bonanza 

 starts its spectacular show with a gor- 

 geous display of big, double, light pink 

 peach blossoms in early spring. You'll 

 find that it bears earlier than most 

 standard size peach trees. Once you've 

 seen the beauty of Bonanza and tasted 

 its fruit, you'll want several more.

DAWN REDWOOD 



Metasequoia glyptostroboides 



This is the tree that has been called the "new 

 living fossil." It is a beautiful tree that actu- 

 ally grew 20 million years ago and was thought 

 to be extinct. But in 1945 it was discovered 

 growing in China! We are pleased to make 

 this "rarest of all trees" available. It grows 

 quickly and it grows tall and as a pyramid. 

 A tree only a dozen or so years old will often 

 have a trunk 12 inches in diameter. Even so 

 it is very long lived. It is a conifer (bearing 

 cones) that is deciduous (drops its foliage in 

 winter). The small needle leaves, like a 

 cypress, are an attractive green, but turn a 

 light pink in the fall. It has proven hardy as 

 far north as Boston and Chicago. An easy 

 grower and durable . . . with a rare beauty 

 that makes it an outstanding addition to any 

 yard, where it will arouse interested com- 

 ment. Excellent 2-year-old plants.
