THE NEW ROOIKRANS BUSH BEANS 
A very important stringless green podded bush bean, developed recently 
in South Africa. We submitted a seed sample of Rooikrans beans in the 
SOmucoec mi IetorGormellelinivonsity tltlaca sNews) Olkw Of UicCiLucUiN eilimicat 
trials. The results of the trial were so outstanding a few of the pods were 
frozen and displayed at their winter seed school. The display caused a most 
sensational interest in the excellent quality of the pods. Color is dark green, 
tender, crisp, stringless and without any fiber whatsoever. Flavor is de- 
licious, with a distinct rich butter-like taste. We are increasing seed in 1953 
to be available in the fall. 
A NEW STRAWBERRY 
Our most important discovery of the year. A newly developed strawberry 
in Europe, so unusual and radically different, it is unbelievable. 
Plants are extremely vigorous, normally growing 20 inches high, with leaf 
spread of the mother plant two feet in diameter. The extreme vigor and 
health of this strain have shown under trials to prolifically produce large Size 
berries even at the third and fourth generation. Berries are as large as hen’s 
Cees, normally bearing two quarts per plant. The most outstanding char- 
acteristic of the fruit is the extremely long-keeping quality. Under a verified 
test, berries were transported 700 miles in a railway car without refrigera- 
tion, after which they were set on a pantry shelf, again without refrigeration. 
After a lapse of six days trom ficlh Fake the berries were still solid, dry, with- 
out sinking in their containers and practically as fine as newly plucked. We 
have imported a very limited number of plants for the purpose of acclimating 
and increasing for future release, in approximately three years.
