Shelleasy

Donated to SSE in 1981 by bean collector John Withee of Lynnfield, Massachusetts and the Wanigan Associates. Withee received the variety circa 1970 from Prof. Elwyn Meader of the University of New Hampshire. This variety was introduced in 1952 by U.N.H. It resulted from a cross between 'Flash' (another UNH introduction) and 'Littleton,' a local heirloom horticultural bean. SSE Accession # 101048
