Josephine Jackson White Half-Runner Snap/Green Bean
25 Seeds
(Phaseolus vulgaris) An old-time Appalachian half-runner originating from Pike County, Kentucky. Josephine Jackson is an extremely prolific producer of 5" long, tender green pods. When evaluated by West Virginia University as a potential replacement for the tougher modern half-runner varieties, Josephine Jackson was found to have the highest eating quality of all the half-runners and also the highest yield (nearly twice the yield of the bush bean comparison). We too, were amazed by the excellent yield and quality of this variety. We especially liked how well filled the pods were and how tender both the pods and bust-out beans were. An all-around great variety! String Bean. 70 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 4-6" apart, 1" deep in rows 24-36" apart. Plants require trellising. Under ideal conditions, germination will occur in 7-10 days. For highest yield, harvest regularly. Avoid touching plants while leaves are wet as this can spread disease.
