Narrative

This bean is originally from the Roberts family in Sterling Township, Polk County, Wisconsin (around) 1909. Via Burnett County and Grantsburg Wisconsin to granddaugther Sarah Roberts, who with her husband Clem Harman, grew the bean for about fifty years. The bean was givento Diane and Elmer Wickland around 1980. They shared it with Harold Erdmann. Around 1990the bean was given to Ann Gilson and she listed it in the Seed Savers Exchange where it was carried for a short time. The bean is said to be easy to digest and to have a flavor similar to Great Northern, but milder. Wisconsin donors indicate, it does not store well and have trouble growing if stored too long, no problems with disease or insert pests and most years they can get dry beans.
