 GREEN PODDED SORTS 



The green podded dwarf sorts are perhaps the most important class of garden beans and are probably more extensively used 

 for snaps than the wax podded varieties, althougli the latter are considered by many as the more attractive in appearance. The 

 green podded sorts are as a rule the more productive, being less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of soil and climate and of 

 late years have been less susceptible to bean diseases.
