straight, stringless, medium green, of good appear- 
ance and flavor. Seed is oval, brown mottled. 50 
days.

and sets on like regular Tendergreen, but the plants 
are taller and more productive, the leaves are 
larger and deeper green, the yields equal or exceed | 
any other variety. On fertile soil with a long grow- | 
ing season, the productivity of Wade is tremendous. |

the plants. Pods are round in diameter, smooth | 
and straight, deep green, about 6” long, crisp, firm, | 
and stringless. 55 days to first picking. Seed is |
