One photograph titled 'Boy and magic bean tree'. The photograph shows a boy standing on a wall next to a very large beanstalk. The caption on the back, which looks like a newspaper cutting describes how the boy, Martin Hulme, was sent some beans attached to a birthday card from his aunt in Yorkshire and after three years the beanstalk had grown to 16ft tall. Neither his aunt, his mother, Mrs. Trudy Hulme or the company who printed the card could explain what species of plant it was or how it grew so large. Mr Elms, the Herald Gardener says the species must have come from abroad to have grown so high in three years.
