LONG POD WAX 

 BUSH BEAN. 



The Hodson 



ENORMOUS PLANTS. 

 ENORMOUS PODS. 

 ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 

 Never Affected by Rust and Blight. 



This distinctive new type of bean is re- 

 markable for great size of plant and pod 

 and wonderful productiveness. Outyielding 

 any other bush bean two to one on a given 

 area. The strong, sturdy plants often at- 

 tain dimensions 2\ feet in height, and bear 

 great quantities of long, meaty pods, mea- 

 suring 7 to 8 inches in length. The ample 

 foliage sheltering the pods from the hot sun 

 renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, 

 and if picked before too old they are string- 

 less, and of fine quality. 



This variety is absolutely immune 

 from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or mildew has ever appeared on a 

 plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields 

 during the years we have been growing 

 them. The Hodson Bush Beans come 

 in about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf 

 varieties, and for main crops are destined 

 to become important for both the private 

 table and for market growers on account 

 of their phenomenal vigor and productive- 

 ness. The plants should be thinned out to 

 at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of their great size. (See cut.) 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.70 pk., $6.00 bush. 



There is also a Hodson Green Pod Bush 

 Bean. (See page 33.)
