As unlikely as it might seem, I think there is, or was, a MARS BONSAI NURSERY, or something very similar, some years ago. I remember the ads in the back of Bonsai Today. Their slogan was "The Best Bonsai are from Mars!" This was at least ten years ago and I can't find anything on Google for it.
Anyone else remember MARS?? Regards, Matt

I just found the ad in Bonsai Today 19, which was the first one I grabbed. I think it was published regularly though. The name was actually "Marrs Tree Farm"
Marrs Tree Farm Uncommon trees- try some of the tree species you've seen used by the masters *We specialize in starter trees (3 to 7 year old seedlings) of uncommon species *Ginkgo, larch, baldcypress, pines, spruces, maples, hornbeams, elms, beech and more! *Send one dollar (refundable with order) for mail-order catalog *Strictly Mail Order Dept. BT** 9802 62 Ave Ct E Puyallup, WA 98373 Uncommon trees on Earth come from Marrs! Regards, Matt **Looks like Marrs Tree Farm is still in business. I didn't check to see if that address from the old ad is still correct, though so don't go mailing off for catalogs without checking up. Quote:

Sorry to hear of your loss. I have only had dogs but have lost two so far, and will eventually lose my Buddy, who has epilepsy. I found the best way to help get past it is to get another little friend who needs rescuing. They are so deserving and provide totally unconditional love. I'll hoist a toast to Mars at the next opportunity.
An idea for a company slogan: Come and enjoy trees of Mars. It will be a heavenly experience! I'm sure your experience with Mars was just that.  |

As an animal lover and activist, I sympathise with you. I will never forget the day i came home and found my Rottie dead in our garage. Animals give us unconditional love. Take care.
Peace Bob

A 14-Year-Old Convalesent Cat in the Winter
I want him to have another living summer, to lie in the sun and enjoy the docceur de vivre- because the sun, like golden rum in a rummer, is what makes an idle cat un tout petit peu ivre- I want him to lie streched out, contented, reveling in the heat, his fur all dry and warm, an Old Age Pensioner, retired, resented by no one, and happinesses in a beelike swarm to settle on him-postponed for another season that last fated hateful journey to the vet from wich there is no return (and age the reason) which must soon come-as I cannot forget. Gavin Ewart.
