Ernie Bottle's Bean

Seed is tubular & tan colored with zebra markings, very similar to 'Rattlesnake'. From Bill Hankin (AUSL HA B) of the Heritage Seed Curators Association in Lobethal, South Australia, Australia. Bill appears to have introduced this variety in the 1998 SSE Yearbook Exchange. He received it in 1994 from Cathy Love and described the bean as: "grown for many decades by Ernie Bottle of the Maffra district in Gippsland that seems to have originated in his garden."
