DWARFING 
Simple or Complex 
In nature, plants are dwarfed by adverse 
conditions--poor soil, wrong acidity, too 
hot or cold, wet or dry, wind or tramping 
feet. YOU can dwarf ANY plant--by using 
adversity. Little soil, minimum water, 
pinching off growing tips, root pruning 
once a year--barely keep it alive. 
You can enjoy DWARFING, as an amateur 
or expert--whichever you prefer--just as 
can be done with gardening, photography, 
sewing, woodworking, any hobby craft. 
The BONSAI Book tells ALL that an expert 
needs to know. YOU can do one-fourth the 
things the experts do, yet succeed. Don't 
be frightened by the COMPLETE methods 
told in the BONSAI Book.
