Munsee Wampum Bean

Dry/Pole. Very tall and productive late bean with large leaves, often 6 pods per pole and the seeds are flattened, with a rather square tip- a cutshort? These beans have a dark beige background with reddish-brown streaks, 6-7 per pod. The Munsee Wampum was collected in the 1930s by Will Weaver's grandfather, H. Ralph Weaver, who got it from the Cuddleback family of Minisink, NJ. In central Pennsylvania there is a town called Muncy, the Cuddlebacks might be connected with Will's grandfather's fishing trips along the Delaware. O.S. VT DA S
