50 H TENDERPOD 
A fine home garden variety. Pod quality is exceptionally good. Plants withstand ad- 
verse weather conditions better than many other varieties. Of exceptional table qual- 
ity, and well suited for home freezing. All America Selections Bronze Medal 1939. 
VINE—17 to 18 inches tall, and sturdy, with pods carried mostly in the center of 
the bush. Dark green foliage. 
PODS—5 to 5% inches long, characterized by unusually long, curving tip ends. Round, 
with slight constrictions. Dark green, stringless, and fiberless. 
SEED—White with reddish spot on either side of eye. Oval shaped. 1,440 per pound. 
49 HM TENNESSEE GREEN POD 
Popular in the South because of its extreme earliness and fine flavor. 
VINE —10 to 12 inches tall, spreading, and sturdy. Very dark green with abundance of 
white bloom on leaves. 
PODS—6 to 7 inches long, exceptionally broad and flat with prominent seeds. Stringy 
and fibrous. Medium dark green. Unusually good flavor, but should be picked 
young. 
SEED—Yellowish brown with obscure brown eye ring. 1,230 per pound. 
50 HMSCF (Mosaic Resistant) TOPCROP 
An extremely high yielding variety developed from a cross of Full Measure and Refu- 
gee U.S. No. 5 by Dr. W. J. Zaumeyer of the USDA. Highly resistant to the virus dis- 
eases “greasy pod” and common bean mosaic. Widely adapted, very hardy, and a de- 
pendable cropper. All America Selections Gold Medal 1950. 
VINE —16 inches tall, vigorous, and intricately branched. Pods are concentrated low 
in the center of the plant, which does not adapt this variety to mechanical har- 
vesting. High yields are obtained, however, from a few large hand pickings. 
PODS—6 inches long and 7/16 inches wide, round to creaseback. A little larger, and 
slightly rougher, and more curved than Tendergreen. Medium green in color, 
stringless, and fiberless when young. 
SEED—Tan mottling over brown background. 1,200 per pound. 
53 HMS (Mosaic Resistant) WADE 
A fine new variety developed by the late Dr. B. L. Wade of the USDA. Well on the way 
to becoming one of the most popular round podded beans for fresh market and ship- 
ping. Distinguished by the unusually dark emerald green color of its pods. An excel- 
lent yielder. (Picture on next page.) 
VINE —17 to 18 inches tall, erect, and vigorous. Pods are set somewhat low on the 
plant and occasionally tend to touch the ground. Dark green foliage. Pod set 
is not concentrated, but is extended over a fairly long season, and thus Wade 
is not well adapted to mechanical harvest. 
PODS—6 to 6% inches long, round, very smooth, with distinctive dark green color. 
Stringless. A little fiber develops at full maturity, but otherwise tender and 
of fine quality. 
SEED—Medium to dark reddish brown. 1,250 per pound.
