Original Toronto Star caption: By systematically pinching off new growth; clipping their roots and keeping them in shallow bowls; trees that normally would tower hunderds of feet in the air can be developed into delicate-oined but tough-fibred plants like these. Here is Lee Holdakowski; Hollywood; Calif.; with part of his $100;000 collection of such bonsais; as they are called by the Japanese who still practise the art; having learned it from the Chinese.
