Gill's Delicious Giant

Excellent flavor, sweet and incredibly juicy without strings. This accesion matches the description of Gill's Delicious Giant listed in Vegetables of New York, 1928. Donated to SSE in 1981 by bean collector John Withee of Lynnfield, Massachusetts and the Wanigan Associates. Withee acquired this variety from the National Seed Storage Laboratory (NSSL). SSE suspects that this may be an example of a variety by the same name that was developed by the Gill Bros. Seed Company of Oregon and first offered commercially in 1925. SSE Accession # 101086
