Red Eagle

Bush dry bean. Productive Red Kidney bean. 5 to 6 inch pods begin to dry close to 100 days. Large plants with dark green foliage. 10 plants produced just over one pound of beans. An original bean named by Robert Lobitz. The seed that I acquired (2013 season) was grown by a deceased former Maine SSE member. His collection was inherited by a Jefferson, Maine resident . I had actually written to the member not knowing of his passing as I had found an old listing for a Robert Lobitz bean he had listed in an older copy of the yearbook. Sometimes I get results. As it turned out the inquiry netted me 12 varieties in a trade, of beans of Robert Lobitz that have not been listed for awhile. Source ME BI H Via Rosey Guest, Jefferson, Maine 2018.
