One of the first beans I grew when I began more seriously collecting heirloom beans, this variety is said to date to around 1800 and originate in Pennsylvania. It was preserved by Quaker farmers and stayed mainly in local agricultural and family seed networks in the area. Luckily, this bean is not quite as rare as many others, but still relatively uncommon in Canada. The seeds have a blue color when immature and become black when dried with a cutshort appearance. For dry use.
