SNAP-POLE
Donated to SSE in 1981 by bean collector John Withee of Lynnfield, Massachusetts and the Wanigan Associates. Withee acquired this variety from RH Shumway Seed Company. Shumway listed this variety for the first time in 1934 and continued to offer it until at least 1975 with the same description. A variety by this name was first popularized in the commercial seed trade by Henry Field in their 1903 catalog. Field stated that he located this variety in Missouri where it had been widely grown.
