2014 - Burpee seed purchased locally; watch for plants that are taller vines, apparently people had problems with that in 2013. First year of growing this plant for me.
Extremely poor germination, only about half a dozen plants in 12 feet of row.

Small seed is white with grayish green speckles and orange around the hilum. Great for baking or soup. Quite productive plants with short runners. A very early and disease resistant bush plant. A very old variety.

Note: There is also a cranberry pole bean. (see the Amishland seed site)
"Can be used as a snap, shell or dry bean. As a dry bean, the variety stores exceptionally well. Maroon-colored beans are decorated with darker red, cranberry markings. This variety, dating back to the 1800s, is well-suited to short-season, cool summer climates."
** The beans that I have growing appear to be very similar as "Gross Brothers Vermont Cranberry bean" sold by Victory Seed. Pods are slim and flat, look like they would be good snap beans. There seem to be MANY different types of "cranberry beans," many with red-streaked pods (which mine are not).

2015: my seeds
"similar to Maine Yellow Eye, but matures more uniformly for easier harvest and has a slightly larger eye. The eating quality is every bit as good." Excellent for baked beans.

Fresh "shelly beans"

Developed as a "lima bean for the north." They do look a lot like limas, especially after soaking the seeds to pre-sprout.
