Stub’s Mammoth Scipio Pole Bean
Phaseolus vulgaris
This eye-catching heirloom of presumed Italian origin was preserved in the famous bean collection of the late John Withee. The variety was acquired by Withee from Edwin “Stub” Coffey of Salem, CT hence the name. Noted for its large meaty beans, the Mammoth Scipio is a chef’s answer to baked bean perfection.  Minimum 20 seeds
