HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 



Round-podded "Snap-shorts." 

 These seemingly enjoy greater favor with the 

 broad masses of planters than the flat-podded kinds be- 

 cause of their superior appearance and greater fleshiness. 

 But the flat-podded sorts average longer and keep better 

 because most of them have more fibre in the pods. There 

 should be room for all in every home garden. 



Stringless Green Pod, after a quarter century, is still 

 the leading round-podded green variety. Ready in sixty 

 days. Of wide adaptability to different soils, seasons, 

 and climates. It is the popular favorite, with Bountiful, 

 described on previous page, as a close competitor. 



Fordhook Favorite (see illustration) is a white-seeded 

 Stringless Green Pod which bears exceedingly handsome 

 pods in great clusters within sixty days from date of plant- 

 ing. Average pod five and a half inches long; perfectly 

 "saddlebacked," half inch in diameter. Full Measure 

 reaches edible size several days later, but is longer.
