GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
HE Flat-podded. “Snap-shorts 
I he 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 
m seventy-five days from date of sowing. Hodson Green 
Podded (No. 1) 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.
