SUNGOLD ORIGINATED AT DES MOINES, 
IOWA. WENT THROUGH BELOW ZERO 
I EVERY WINTER AND BORE FULL CROPS 
FOLLOWING SUMMERS. 
I Several years ago one of the fruit judges at the 
Iowa State Fair noticed that each year, year after 
year, there was exhibited some large extra fine 
peaches. Central Iowa is considered too far north 
to grow peaches so he investigated these peaches. 
He found they came from a chance seedling at 
the home of Air. W. H. Kirstein, Des Moines. 
Every winter this tree went through below zero 
weather, as cold as 22 below, and bore full crops 
the following summers. 
FRUIT IS VERY LARGE, FREE-STONE, 
HIGH QUALITY, HEAVY BEARER 
The fruit of Sungold is very large, yellow skin 
beautifully blushed. The flesh is firm, golden 
yellow, full of juice and the richest, sweetest 
flavor—exceptionally fine quality. It will be a 
great commercial peach because it will stand 
shipping and colors early. It ripens several days 
before hilberta. The tree is a strong, stocky grower, 
well-branched, with healthy dark green foliage. 
It is an extremely good, regular bearer. 
SUNGOLD STOOD 35 BELOW ZERO 
Mr. Max B. Cox, Fairview, ITah, wrote us on 
March 22, 1937 as follows—“The Polly and Sun¬ 
gold jMjaches purchased a year ago withstood 35 
degrees below zero here last winter and 1 doubt 
if as much as 2 inches i.s dead on the tips of the 
small branches. 1 am amazed.” 
However, we tell you frankly, if you live where 
it gets 35 below, you should not try to grow 
peaches. But Mr. Cox’s report does show that 
Sungold and Polly are extremely hardy. 
SUNGOLD, 
BETTER THAN ELBERTA AND J. H. HALE 
Compared to Elberta, Sungold is much larger, 
better colored, very much better quality and far 
hardier. It lives and bears where Elberta dies. 
Sungold flesh is solid and firm for canning. Com¬ 
pared to J. H. Hale, it is larger, just as attractive, 
equal or better in quality, far hardier and is self- 
pollenizing so wall produce far more fruit. 
NOW YOU CAN HAVE DELICIOUS 
HOME GROWN PEACHES 
We all know how delicious are home grown, tree- 
ripened peaches. We have always w'anted them, 
but in the past the varieties w’e had, have been 
too 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 BRINGS TOP PRICES. Sungold will 
make peach-growing PROFITABLE.

MR. H. L. LANTZ, FRUIT 
EXPERT, WRITES “Sungold 
looks like a winner.” 
In the October, 1937 issue of the 
American Fruit Grower is an 
article by H. L. Lantz, Secretary 
of the American Pomological 
Society and recognized as an 
authority on fruits. Mr. Lantz 
writes—“Sungold is as handsome 
as well grown J. H. Hale which 
it resembles in form. The quality 
is superb. Experts have rated it 
as good or even sui>erior to J. H. 
Hale in flesh and quality. The 
skin is just right for handling 
purposes and is attractively cov¬ 
ered with a bright carmine. The 
flesh is yellow, firm, tender, juicy 
and richly flavored. We have 
seen specimens from the original 
tree as large as 11 to 12 inches in 
circumference. In 1920, Melvin 
Kirstein, a school boy in Des 
Moines, planted a few peach 
seeds. One of the resulting trees 
grew rapidly and bore fruit at 
about five years of age and has 
been bearing regularly since that 
time. Trees propagated from the 
original tree have shown desir¬ 
able vigor, strong foliage and 
productivity. Sungold looks like 
a winner.” 
A GREAT PEACH FOR ALL AMERICA 
We believe that Sungold will thrive in all 
e.xcept those where the temperature falls to 20 or 
more below zero for long periods. We recommend 
it to those in the cold sections who have been 
unable to grow peaches regularly and profitably 
because they got a crop only now and then. 
SUNGOLD IS VERY DEFINITELY A HAR¬ 
DIER PEACH. We also recommend it to those 
farther south who can grow other varieties. They 
will find Sungold a verv superior peach because 
of its GREAT SIZE, ‘ BEAUTIFUL COLOR, 
HIGH QUALITY, and HIGH PRODUCTION.
