26 FORDHOOK U. S. 242. (New.) All American Bronze 
Medal Winner. This new 
heavy-yielding strain is a real improvement over the famous Fordhook 
Bush Lima. Years of careful breeding by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 
at Beltsville, Md. have produced a strain that will consistently out 
yield Fordhook under average conditions and will produce much better 
crops in hot dry weather. 
The plants are somewhat larger and more vigorous, and they produce 
a better set of pods on the early pickings. The pods are uniform, nearly 
straight, and well filled with three or four plump thick beans of the 
finest type. The dry seeds average slightly smaller and the pods area 
trifle narrower but otherwise they are identical to the best Fordhook. 
In addition they hold their fine uniform size and shape throughout the 
entire season.
