Grown by Elizabeth Auker in 2022 for the Collection Documentation Project; she commented "Fence was sagging so I don't know the height of the plants." Donated to SSE in 2002 by Dorothy Beiswenger (MN BE D) who received this variety from Mrs. Ashcraft of Oregon in 1983. The variety is originally from Virginia and used as a dry bean.
