GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 



'T'HE Flat-podded "'Snap-shorts." 



The work of the modern hybridizer permits of 

 no excuse for "stringy" beans in the home garden. Fore- 

 most among the flat green-podded sorts that may be 

 snapped into short pieces without strings having to be 

 taken off, is Bountiful (No. 2). It is a truly pedigreed 

 sort that will bear its handsome six-inch pods regularly 

 within sixty days from date seeds were sown and will 

 continue to bear for six weeks thereafter. 



Keeney's Stringless Refugee Green Podded is a most proli- 

 fic sort with semi-flat, thick-fleshed, five-inch pods of light 

 green color. It bears particularly well during the early 

 fall from seeds sown during June. Ready for gathering 

 in seventy-five days from date of sowing. Hodson Green 

 Podded (No. i) is the latest maturing sort of this re- 

 markable trio, but also the most prolific. In eighty days 

 from date of sowing it, an average fifteen-foot row will 

 yield five quarts of pods; stringless while young.
