Cantare Bean Seed
Description
More beans than you’ll know what to do with. Slim, straight, uniform dark-green pods for snaps. Easy-care bush habit requires no staking or trellising. A fine all-purpose choice for fresh eating, canning or freezing. Excellent disease resistance to most problems, and easy to grow for kids or beginners — such a bountiful, reliable home-garden bean! Outperforms other bush varieties year after year in university trials. Pick frequently to keep plants productive, and succession-plant every 2-3 weeks for a prolonged harvest.
