Hodson Green Pod. 



The Hodson 

 Green Pod is a re- 

 markably prolific 

 snap bean and like 

 the Hodson "Wax, 

 is an exceptionally 

 strong and robust 

 grower. Many of 

 the plants measure 

 2% feet in height, 

 often producing 

 fifty to sixty long, 

 straight, oval 

 shaped pods to the 

 single plant. It is 

 an enormous yield- 

 er, unaffected by 

 rust or blight. The 

 green pods when 

 picked young are 

 entirely stringless. 

 Of good table qual- 

 ity, it is particu- 

 larly desirable for 

 main or late crop 

 in the home or 

 market garden. 

 The yield from this 

 bean averages 20 to 

 30 per cent, heavier 

 than any other 

 green pod variety.
