Ma's Tan Bean

Green snap bean. 5-6" long. Decent flavor, few strings. 6-8 tan seeds per pod. A small percentage of harvested seeds in 2020 planting at Heritage Farm were a solid dark red phenotype, so there is some genetic variabililty in this variety. If saving seed, save only the tan ones. Mid-season. Average productivity. Donated to SSE in the early 2000s by James Luttrell (KY LU J) of Yosemite, Kentucky who said this bean was grown by his great grandmother, Ellen Delk Hamilton (1863-1951). SSE Accession # 105461
