@Ridgerunner,
You should like this. A bean farmer in Twin Falls, Idaho requested and grew one of your named beans this year. It was "Up The Valley". This fellow owns a company called Gentec. He grows certified seed so other farmers can grow his seed for food to be shipped overseas or packaged for the grocery trade.
This is what he said in his observations about "Up The Valley". A large bush. The structure of this plant was as good as you are going to find in an old variety and as good as most new varieties. All the bush types were early in maturity.
I took a photo of the new seed he grew and I placed six of the original seed you grew on the outside of the Gentec grown one's. His seed was really big. I don't know what he might do to his soil but the "Up The Valley" Twin Falls grown beans look pretty amazing. Thought you would enjoy seeing this. "Up The Valley" realized in full potential.
