Ideal
Also called Black Seeded Green Pod Pole. This bean has proved to be very thrifty and extremely prolific. It yields better than all other varieties of pole beans, and even better than most varieties of commercial beans. It's truly a grand green podded snap pole bean. A marvel of productiveness. Thick stringless pods, meaty, tender and delicious. Is perfectly round. It is fully ten days to two weeks earlier than any other green-podded pole bean, and can be planted fully a week to ten days earlier in the spring because of its extreme hardiness and robust characteristics. First pickings are just a trifle behind bush beans planted at the same time. The pods hang in great clusters. From the top to the bottom of the vine they can be literally gathered by the handful. Will outyield any other pole bean ever introduced.
