About McCaslan 42

(Phaseolus vulgaris) Pole bean. In 1912 the McCaslan family decided to share one of the South’s most versatile and soon-to-be-adored bean varieties. They had been protecting this prolific and heat-loving variety of green bean in their family’s Georgian garden plot and decided that everyone needed to enjoy this heirloom treasure. Reaching almost 8 inches in length, it can be picked young as a snap bean or picked late in the season for an ivory-colored white shelling bean. Slightly flattened pods have excellent flavor and are perfect fresh or preserved. This pole bean is prolific over a long season. McCaslan 42 is an improved variety released by the Corneli Seed Company of Saint Louis in 1962. 70 days
