Dating to 1894, this heirloom bush bean loads plants with round, juicy 6-inch green pods. Pods stay tender and stringless even when large, fitting canning, freezing, and market use.
Sow outdoors after last frost in soil above 60°F, 2-3 inches apart. Pick every 2-3 days before seeds bulge to keep plants producing.
