Novelties produced by specialists in this country and abroad are carefully tested in our trial grounds during the summer, and the descriptions given are mainly as received by the introducers. Ne^w ^"onder Busti L,inia Bean. We have paid close attention to this class of Beans since their first introduction, and have made critical tests of every variety on the market and noted all improvements as they developed v\'ith each new type, our aim being to secure one which possesses qualities most desirable in this class of Beans, viz.: earliness, dwarfness, flavor and heavy cropping qualities. These we can attribute to the New Wonder. We made a planting on June 29th, in our experimental grounds, during the season of 1897, and on August 17th, just seven weeks from date of planting, we took the first pod with matured beans from the plant. This is the best record in our experience with Bush Limas. The charac- ter of plant is dwarf and compact, the pods completely filling the plant from top to bottom (as shown in illustration) The extreme ends of branches are filled with buds, hence no runners. The beans are of the large flat type, in flavor equal to the famous Dreer's Bush Lima, so well known to the public. The "New Wonder" is a novelty of the highest character—it is the earliest, dwarfest and most prolific of the whole class of Bush Limas—a big crop from a small space. This variety is a decided improvement on the original type of Burpee's Bush Lima ; is also 10 to 15 days earlier.
