VEGETABLES / BEAN
SNAP-POLE
87 days, 50 days/snaps, 87 days/dry, fat pods about 5" long, 5-7 seeds per pod, seed is more round than elongated and colored like Kentucky Wonder, with adequate moisture this one can produce the entire season, this is our family's #1 all-purpose bean, excel. beany flavor, pods should be allowed to fill out before picking, heavy strings but we actually find this one less laborious to prepare than a regular round podded, stringless snap family heirloom from my wife's Aunt Clara and Uncle Doy Clifton in Salem, IL in 1985, they got their seed from Olive Stroup, who in turn got her seed from her sister in TN, ca 1950, who claimed the variety was grown all over the South, all our relatives and their contacts for this bean have passed on.
