Climbing French Bean, 1931 Heirloom

Not available for 2025. May I suggest Cobra beans  they are similar and also can be grown in cooler weather.  Cobra Bean Link 

This is a great one for the cooler weather when it’s starting to warm but the soil is still cool. 

Seed Exchange - The beans of this historic variety are excellent for fresh eating—especially when picked young and tender—and its vines bear beautiful lilac flowers. Sweet and flavorful off the vine (kids love them!), the snappy, green 4-7" pods cradle shiny, dark-purple seeds when mature. Ever popular, it was once the most widely grown French climbing bean in England, according to The Beans of New York (1931). Pole habit, snap, 65-75 days
