Beans!

... ——— N.I.’s Valuable Crop ... ———

From Our Own Correspondent ... ———

Norfolk Island, Dec. 2.

IN addition to our prospects for passionfruit, we anticipate a magnificent harvest of Canadian Wonder Beans and a splendid market for them.

Last year we sold every bean we had for sale at a flat rate, f.o.b., of £2 5s. per bushel, and this year, what with the reputation our seed made among buyers and the recent report that disease is again rife in the Australian crop, we hope to do even better.

We have no disease worth worrying about and the soil and climate of the island seem to be ideal for this particular vegetable.

Agents and buyers on the other side had better get busy and send over their orders for, last year, many went away empty and disappointed: while enquiries have been coming over during the course of this year for any amounts, however small, at fancy prices. ===
