About Bountiful

45–50 days. Bush plants produce an early and bountiful harvest of stringless light green 6” pods. In 1898, Abel Steele won a $25 prize for renaming this, at the time, new variety blandly called “New Green Bush Bean No. 1.” Being an heirloom variety, plants may throw out short runners when mature.
