| 55 days. This is the bush bean by which all others are judged, a classic favorite for many years among gardeners across the U.S. The secret? Huge yields, great taste, and reliability. Blue Lake 274 matures its big crop all at once, so if you want to can or freeze any of your beans (and with yields like these, who doesn't?), you can do it in one big batch, assuring you of the freshest-tasting beans you'll ever love! The pods are dark green and about 5 1/2 inches long, very plump with tender white seeds, and fairly straight. They arise on space-saving 16-inch plants, and are flavorful and tender. Blue Lake 274 -- the one to trust! Easy and trouble-free, even for the new gardener, this snap bean is widely adapted across the U.S., and is compact in the garden. For best harvest, succession-plant every 3 weeks or so from early spring till late summer (avoiding the worst summer heat in warm areas). Hardier than pole beans, bush snaps can be direct-sown after all danger of frost. Pkt is 2 ounces (about 100 seeds). |
