“Your Sequoia gigantea really made a hit. 
Your Governor Warren and our Governor 
Browning performed on the night of October 
2, 1951, in a glare of lights before a huge 
audience. LIFE magazine took a photo and 
Edward R. Murrow devoted an entire program 
over CBS coast-to-coast hookup, about your 
tree and our Indian Chief Sequoyah for whom 
it was named.”

“All your trees are growing well — very 
well—the Metasequoia which two years ago 
was one foot high, is now about five feet. 
The tiny Sequoia gigantea is now about two 
feet and very sturdy.” —

"We planted our trees April lst - hard 
night frost Apr. 6th did no serious damage. 
June 6, I measured them. In only 2 months 
they have gained height already. Metase- 
quoia 16 in. - Cryptomeria 101/2 in. - S. 
sempervirens 8 in.-S. gigantea 6 in.- Mon- 
terey Pine 41/2 in.- Douglas Fir 31/2 in. 
I am proud of them all--very vigorous,"

Ming Trees--also many packs of seeds. In 
two years, I] have never hada seed grow. 
Your started trees are what I want."

"{ got hooked -- $5.95 for a pinch of 
seeds, a spoonful of fertilizer, and some

shipment until Spring, to avoid freezing in 
transit. We also avoid shjpping during July 
and August, to avoid the heat crossing west- 
ern deserts. To the South, we can ship all win- 
ter. Order any time of year—vwe reserve trees

Trees in small pots or gallon cans, are 
packed in cartons; trees in 5-gallon cans must 
be crated, which costs us $2.00 tq $2.50 extra. 
Prices include cost of packing. Our trees have 
succeeded in U. S., Europe. Australia, Africa. 
jSmall trees cost you less, because they cost 
less to grow, pack and ship. However, baby 
trees only one or two years old, are much 
more tender—-must be grown for a year or two 
in large pots or tubs, so they can be moved 
indoors in coldest weather. When three or 
four years old, they may be planted outdoors
