BY EARL ARONS0N
AP NewsfeatureS

TWENTY-FIVE years ago, a
California nursery began a project
! to develop a truly miniature peach
bush that would produce full-size,
yellow-fleshed freestone fruit.
The result at the Armstrong
nursery is a new plant called Bo-
nanza DR.. David l.. Armstrong
says his introduction will bear
fruit under proper conditions when
the plant is less than two feet tall,
and in it's second summer after
planting.
Bonanza also is an ornamental
shrub that displays large p k
blossoms in the early spring. 1t
requires less space than two rose
bushes.
DR.. Armstrong said the initial
cross-breeding and selection pro-
gram in the search for this dwarf
began in 1886. The shrubs ances-
try, he related, involves "a paren-
tai combinations going back four
to six generations to the varieties
originally used as breeding ma
terial. To obtain the m n u e
character, a dwarf peach brought
from China in the 1920s was used
The original dwarf had no market
value because of it's late ripening
and unattractive, pOor-t n g,
greenish cling-stone fruit.
Bonanza stemmed from crosses
of natural dwarfs and high quality
standard peach varieties.
"a true dwarf" DR.. Armstrong
explained, "is one which is dwarf
by nature - one which always will
be small regardless of age, root
stock or other environmental con-
ditions."
Some dwarf peach trees on the
market today, he said, are simply
normal-size varieties that h ave
been grated onto an inhibiting or
stunting rootstock. He said these
generally were short-lived. Bonan-
"a, he said, was genetically
dwarf tree grated onto rootstock
used in producing standard peach
trees.
Bonanza ripens bit ahead of
ed as a medium-size, decorative
landscape shrub or even like rose
bushes.
Armstrong said, Bonanza does
not require cross-pollinization by
a second plant and may be grown
in tubs or planter boxes on sunny
terraces or patios.
1t does not require pruning. II
unpruned, it would reach a height
of six to eight feet in 10 years or
so. With minor pruning it may be
kept to three to four feet. 1t will
thrive wherever peaches ordinari-
ly grow, the originator said, and
may be expected to be as winter
resistant as the average popular
peach variety. 1t should do we'll
with average daily mean tempera-
ture for December as high as 55-
Sc degrees. Higher average mini
mum winter temperature will pro-
long dormancy.
Bonanza ripns bit ahead of
Redhaven and Coronet and a bit
later than June Gold, Cardinal and
Dixired.
How much fruit will Bonanza
yield? With normal spring thin
ming, Armstrong said, it should
produce several dozen ripe peach
eS.

on Friday, December 7th. M r e
than thirty persons, attired in 18th
century costume, will participate,
with Delaware's present-day chief
executive, Governor Ebert N. Car
vel, portraying Thomas Colli $,
who was president of the Della
ware State" in 1887. CThe chief
executives of Delaware were
known as presidents" prior to the
adoption of the State Constitution
in 1922.
While the minutes of the Rati-
fication Convention of 1887 have
been lost. enough is known about
what took place December Al of
that year to permit preparation of
a script for the re-enactment. This
has been prepared by veteran
newspaperman w. Emerson Will
son with the assistance of State
Archivist Leon deValinger. Jr., and
William p. Frank.
Major speaking parts are to be
taken by members of the Kent
County Theatre Guild with other
roles being portrayed by members
of the SAR.
Inasmuch as the meeting place
of the 1887 Ratification Convention
no, longer exists, the committee,
with the approval of Governor
Carvel, decided to stage the re-
enactment in the Senate Chamber
of Delaware's present capitol,
Legislative Hall.
Thirty delegates = ten fr m
each county - comprised the Rati-
fication Convention of 1887. James
Latimer of Wilmington was elect
ed president of the convention,
and Cunning Bedford, Jr., and
Richard Bassett, two of Delaware's
representative at the earlier Con-
stitution Convention in Philadel-
phia, were among the delegates to
the state convention.
The action taken December z,
1887 was unanimous, making Della
ware the first state to ratify the
Federal Constitution and givin g
the second smallest of all the
states the right to henceforth be
called "The First State.
