A new type, developed by Asgrow, distinguished by its disease- resistance, high yield and excellent quality, whether used fresh, canned, frozen or for dry beans. Plant spreading and with half- runners, vigorous and very prolific; resistant to common bean mosaic and powdery mildew. Leaves of Refugee form. Pods round, mostly straight, stringless, silvery green, the set largely concentrated in the crown. Seeds white and cylindrical: 110 per oz. Tendergreen: See Asgrow Stringless Green Pod. * TENDERLONG 15 A new, high-yielding green pod variety of superior quality; the result of a long program of crossing and testing at the Asgrow breeding stations, designed to retain and improve upon the features that made Tendergreen so popular, and adding resistance to disease. Extensive trials by commercial growers and at numerous experiment stations show these aims to have been attained.

Seed purplish black, dull, not shiny, mottled with buff: 75 per oz. * Suitable for quick freezing.
