Chiefly of value to processors but is also a very attractive small-seeded type for the garden. Dry seeds mainly pale green: 70 per oz. FORDHOOK BUSH 4 1 75 Large seeded potato lima type. Well adapted for market gar- deners and shippers. Plant large, upright, very sensitive to environment, highly productive. Pods straight, long, with thick fibrous walls; contain 3-4 large, thick-oval beans of excellent quality. Dry beans white with tinge of green: 20 per oz. FORDHOOK, ASGROW STRAIN 3 1 71 Bred at our Milpitas, California, station. Markedly different from the old Fordhook in that pods are concentrated not only in regard to position but also in time of reaching maturity. The plants are stocky, without tendrils, and very prolific. The seeds are slightly smaller but somewhat thicker.

Pods flat, containing 3-4 flattish, small oval beans. Dry beans creamy white: 70 per oz. Fordhook, Asgrow Strain: A single plant
