BEANS 
IMPROVED BLACK VALENTINE STRINGLESS 
A very fine selection out of Black Valentine Stringless 
(Asgrow Type) with a long, more slender, somewhat 
deeper colored pod, and a more concentrated harvest. 
They create a ‘‘New Look”’ in pods with about a 6” pod 
and a diameter and width ratio of about 5/16” by 4/16”. 
_ Like Asgrow Type they are nearly straight and end in a 
_ curling stringless tip. About 55 days. 
TENDERLONG 15 
_ A snap bean of fine quality, excellent for shipping and 
_ canning and resistance to Strain 15 bean mosaic. Al- 
though resembling Tendergreen it has more uniformity 
of pod length and maturity, and a greater concentration 
| of harvest with similar productivity. Foliage is dark 
| green with plant about 16” tall and pods 6” long, 6/16” 
in diameter, and borne in the middle and lower portions 
of the plant. 55 days. 
WADE 
All America Gold Medal Winner Of 1952 
A new disease resistant snap bean that will probably be 
first choice of shippers and processors and popular with 
home gardens. Although the plants are taller, leaves are 
deeper and richer in color, and yields are heavier — it 
grows, looks and sets on much like Tendergreen. The 
long, slender, straight pods are quite uniform and are 
borne at the top, middle, and bottom of the plants. Pods 
| about 6” long and 6/16” round in diameter. About 55 
| days. '

| are 9 inches long with 18 rows of kernels. Plants are 6 — 7 
feet tall, often bearing two ears. Season a few days later 
_ than Golden Cross Bantam.
