HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
r Jj 7 HE 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.
