Clara Half Runner

Snap bean with half-runner growth habit. Beautiful pods have light purple blushing and develop stripes as they mature. Really nice, old-timey green bean flavor with a firmer, tougher texture. Would be excellent for canning. Pods 3.5-4.5" long, curved. Dark purple flowers. Medium-high yielding. 5-7 seeds/pod. Seeds tan with black mottling. Mid-season. Donated to SSE by John Coykendall (TN CO J) who received it from the C.C. Kiesling family of Marianna, Arkansas SSE Accession # 104239
