Landreth Stringless Bush Bean

A historic variety that stands up to the test of time! Reliable, productive, fast-growing bush bean produces 5" green beans without stringy parts. Delicious meaty flavor in a hearty bean that is great for canning and freezing. This old heirloom variety was first offered by David Landreth & Sons in 1885. David Landreth was an Englishman from near the Scottish boarder who moved his nascent seed company from Canada to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1784. His first building was on the spot of what is now 1210 Market Street in Center City, and he and David Landreth Jr. were among the founders of the still-important Pennsylvania Horticultural Center. Other Landreth varieties that have become important heirlooms include Green Glaze Collards, Jackson Wonder Bush Limas, and Bloomsdale Spinach. This heirloom bean is part of the Roughwood Seed Collection of William Woys Weaver.
