Lila Stuart

Bush/Dry. 105 days to first dry pods. My source had this variety listed as a pole bean in yearbook 2013, but there was no indication that it wanted to climb. 18 inch tall plants produce elongated seed, white with a large dark red eye patch which covers nearly half the seed. The bean comes out of early SSE member Ernest B. Dana's collection of Etna, N.H. in the 1970’s. Was also listed in John Withee's Wanigan Associates catalog in the late 1970's and early '80's.
