SNAP-BUSH
Bush/Snap Green podded counterpart of Kishwaukee Yellow discovered one season later after I found the Kishwaukee seeds in September of '77 in Cherokee wax. The 1978 grow out realized a yellow podded and a green podded snap bean. After returning to SSE in 2011 after a 22 year absence I began recovering original varieties and found Kishwaukee Yellow grown by a former SSE member in Colorado. Upon opening an email one morning in 2015 from a David Gillaspie of Corrina, Maine with the subject line...Bean Seeds You Might Like. David had worked for a garden farmer and was gifted a jar of seeds by him. David had grown these beans for the previous 12 years. Often wondering what they were. Upon looking at my website and seeing the description and photo of Kishwaukee Yellow and reading the bean threw off other seed coats. He was convinced that the bean was indeed Kishwaukee Green. He sent some to me and after one grow out. The bean did exactly as I had expected. OS IL CR R '77
