Riggin's Stick

Given to SSE by Bill Minkey (WI MI B) who got the variety from Victory Seeds in 2005. It was originally sent to Victory Seeds by Mark Chappel who indicated that the bean had been grown by his mother's side (the Riggins) in Kentucky since before the Civil War. It's called a "Stick Bean" by the family because tobacco sticks were used to support the bean vines. SSE Accession # 106058
