OUR BEAN OF THE MILLENNIUM--An old-time New England heirloom dating back to the 1700's and is perhaps the most attractive of all dried beans. Unduplicated quality, reliability, and hardiness have made it our most popular bush shelling bean since our beginnings in the seventies. Useful as either a fresh shell bean (60 days) or dry bean (85 days). Brightly colored, red-mottled, 6" long pods are borne on vigorous, upright bush-type plants. Their sweet, succulent flavor is wonderful in soups, for baking and in a variety of other recipes.
