FORDHOOK 242 BUSH 
Was a top ranking All-American vegetable for 
1945, a bronze medal winner, developed by the 
U.S.D.A. and released in 1942. Fordhook 242 is 
similar to regular Fordhook, differing from it 
chiefly in that pods are shorter and uniformly 
curved. Pods contain a very high percentage 
of four beans and shelled bean is identical with 
regular Fordhook. Outstanding characteristic 
of 242 is its ability to set under adverse weather 
conditions, particularly high temperatures. In 
nationwide tests for the past two years, 242 has 
outyielded regular Fordhook at a three to two 
rate. It is highly recommended for market gar- 
deners as well as home gardeners and is rap- 
idly gaining favor among market gardeners on 
the east coast. Rate of table maturity is about 
seven days earlier than regular Fordhook. 
Quality is excellent.
