Phaseolus lunatus

Phaseolus vulgaris
Organic Great Northern Shell Bean (91 days)

Seed pkg contains 1 oz or about 90 seeds

My 1937 Oscar H. Will seed catalog says that he (Oscar Will) obtained this white seeded bean from a Hidatsa Indian.  He credits himself as being the first to bring it to the seed market "over 50 years ago" (1937 catalog). 

However the story goes we do know that this bean has become a staple baking bean in many households throughout the world. Succulent, easy to cook and used to make soups.  Much faster to cook than navy beans. 

Great Northen Shell bean is perfect for Northen gardens with heavy yields and robust bean "bushes".

The highest yielding dry shell bean in Oregon State's 2007 Fresh Shell Bean & Dry Bean Variety Trial
