The plants are of strong, upright growth, and are completely covered with large pods, many of which con- tain four beans, which are fully as large as the pole limas. The beans are flat in shape and of excellent quality. A customer writes that we can well call it 'Wonder,' as he planted as late as May 30, arid not only had all the Lima Beans he wanted, but also supplied his neighbors with what they required.

The fruits, which are produced in clusters, are round, somewhat flattened and ripen evenly to the stem; the color is bright scarlet, flesh firm, solid and of excellent flavor for so early and productive a variety. This Tomato is now being extensively used by leading canning concerns, who value it highly for their purpose, and we recommend it to our customers. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^ oz., 30 c
