Keeney and introduced in 1911. Plant large, sturdy, very pro- ductive. Pods thick-flat, golden yellow, brittle, strictly string- less; very little fiber, fine texture and quality. Seeds oval, jet black: 65 per oz. Tendergreen: See Asgrow Stringless Green Pod. TENDERLONG 6S/8 ys An entirely new Asgrow green pod variety, produced by hybrid- ization and selection, introduced in 1945. Plant erect and vigorous, pods similar to those of Asgrow Stringless Green Pod (Tendergreen) but longer, a shade darker in green color, round, trim, entirely stringless, of excellent quality.
