Donated to SSE in 1996 by Hillary Nelson (NH NE H) who received this variety from Dan Holmes at the Canterbury Shaker Village. Holmes received the beans from a volunteer who got them from an elderly man named Fred Adams of Franklin, New Hampshire. Adams had an interest in perpetuating older varieties. The namesake of this bean, Fred Taylor, was reportedly a bean merchant in Salisbury, NH in the 1830s. SSE Accession # 104521
