Tennessee Wonder
( Brown Sickle - Holmes Improved Sickle)
70 days -
(Pole/Climbing
Habit)
According to the “Beans of New
York”, in The Vegetables of New York Series ,Vol. 1, Part II
(1931), Tennessee Wonder was introduced by the
Landreth Seed Co. sometime before 1901 but the type dates back
much earlier and was also known by the names of Brown Sickle and
Holmes Improved Sickle.
The pods are larger and straighter than Kentucky Wonder pods, also
later in season.
Good vigorous climber, very large near straight beans with a good
old fashioned bean flavor. Beans should be picked at an early
stage like most other string type beans before they become stringy
and fibrous.
It has been said that pods of Tennessee Wonder are
the largest,
straightest, and most handsome of all cultivated beans. -
