Mr. Kirstein writes as follows—“The tree grew fast and has borne exceptionally large peaches 
every year. In fact, it has never missed a crop and has suffered no injury from the extreme Iowa 
cold weather, even the winter of 1924 when the temperature was down to 22 degrees below zero. 
The quality is just fine, tender and juicy and deliciously sweet.” Sept. 3, 1935.

In 1920, Melvin, the young son of Mr. and 
Mrs. W. 11. Kirstein, Des Moines, Iowa, 
planted a sprouted peach pit. Little did he 
or his parents then realize that this peach 
w'ould one day revolutionize peach growing. 
For 15 winters this tree has gone thru BELOW 
ZERO temperature, 10, 15, even 22 below zero 
and bearing full crops the following summers. 
We know of no other yellow peach in all America 
which has made such a record. Moreover, yoimg 
trees propagated from the original also have gone thru 
20 below zero and bearing good crop following summer. 
NEVER HAS “SUNGOLD” SHOWN THE LEAST 
SIGN OF WINTER INJURAk The original tree right 
there in the northern part of Des Moines, Iowa, has 
NEVER MISSED A FULL CROP SINCE IT STARTED BEARING. 
The peaches are very large, free-stone, yellow skin beautifully blushed with 
red. The flesh is golden yellow, full of juice and the richest, sweetest flavor, 
exceptionally fine quality. It is very firm and colors early. It will be a great 
commercial peach as it will stand shipping. It ripens several days before 
Elberta. The tree is a strong, stocky grower, well-branched, with healthy 
dark green foliage. 
Compared to Elberta, Sungold is much larger, better colored, very much 
finer quality and far hardier. It lives and bears where Elberta dies. Com¬ 
pared to .1. il. Hale, Sungold is larger, equal or better in quality, far hardier 
and it is self-pollenizing so will produce far more fruit.

We aU know how' delicious are home grown peaches. IVe 
have always wanted them but in the past the varieties 
we had, have been uncertain in bearing. Now this is all 
changed. Plant Sungold and YOU WILL HAVE 
PEACHES. If you have only a little room, plant a few 
trees. If you have more room, plant more trees and sell the 
fruit at good prices. Sungold because of its LARGE SIZE, 
BEAUTY and FINE FLAVOR will bring TOP PRICES. 
Sungold will make peach growing profitable. 
It is a great peach for all the Lhiited States. Excepting 
those few states where the temperature every winter goes 
to 25 and 30 below zero for long periods, we believe Sun¬ 
gold will thrive in all other states, ^^'e recommend it to 
those in the north who heretofore have been unable to 
grow peaches regularly and profitably, because they got 
a crop only now and then. We also recommentl it to those 
farther south, because of its GREAT SIZE, BEAUTI¬ 
FUL COLOR and HIGH QUALITY, its firmness and its 
extreme vigor, health and hardiness. It is an extremely 
good bearer. Aou can get SUNGOLD only from 
INTER-ST.ATE NURSERIES. We have only a few 
thousand trees so order early.
