(Phaseolus vulgaris)   54-61 days.    Snap Bean     This dark green bean is a favorite for canning and freezing, a high quality bean with fine texture. The Blue Lake Bush 274 Heirloom Bush Bean’s small 12-22″ plants set forth heavy yields of dark green, round, 5 ½-6 ½” pods, over the entire season. This variety originated from the Pole Blue Lake and was developed in 1961. Resistant to BCMV and NY15, widely adapted to varied growing conditions.

Planting Instructions for Blue Lake Bush 274 Bean Seeds

Sow Heirloom / Open Pollinated Blue Lake Bush 274 beans 1-2″ deep, 2-6″ apart, in rows 18-36″ apart, in full sun after danger of frost. Soaking bean seeds in water 1-2 hours before planting speeds germination. Blue Lake Bush 274 germination occurs in 4-16 days in soil 60-85°F. Provide support for heirloom pole bean varieties. For heirloom Blue Lake Bush 274 snap beans, harvest when beans are 3-6″ long. For dry beans, leave pods on plants until pods are dry, brown, and crisp, and beans are hard and rattle in pod, if more drying is needed when danger of frost has arrived, pick pods or pull entire plant and hang upside down to dry further.

No day is so bad it can’t be fixed with a nap.

    Our favorite bean for Southern Indiana. We canned 84 quarts and still had plenty to eat fresh and share with friends.

    These always do well. Problem I have is my daughter eats them out of the garden so fast I never have any to freeze.

    Maybe I was mistaken at the kind of beans these were or maybe I waited too long to pick them but the beans were very large like a pole bean. I wanted more of a skinny string bean.

      Thank you for the review. We are sorry you had trouble with germination of these seeds. This is by far our most popular bean seed, having sold hundreds of packs of this seed this year, and we have not had any other complaints with germination, so not sure what went wrong? We are happy to refund you for this seed, and thank you for your feedback. God bless!
