Semi runner. Not a strong climber. Could be grown on the ground as bush type. Productive plants produce large seeds somewhat kidney shaped seed with a tan base and streaked and speckled with red. A J.R. Hepler variety developed in 1946 at the UNH. a cross between French Horticultural and Gage, a New Hampshire horticultural bean. Sold by his son's seed company the Billy Hepler Seed Co. from the late 1940's through the early 1950's. Also had been sold by the Merrimack Farmers Exchange of Laconia, New Hampshire which was formed by some local farmers in the 1920's. My seed source IA SSE HF 2016, SSE Accession # 101722.
