55 days — Also know as 'Spartan Striped' and 'Striped Half Runner', the semi-vining bushes are vigorous and productive. The pods are slender, light-green in color, reach about five inches long by up to 3/8-inches across. The seeds are tan with brown striping.

'Spartan Half Runner' is a multipurpose variety and its pods do get stringy as they mature, but harvested at the young, tender stage, they are an excellent snap or green bean. If allowed to mature, they can be harvested for shelly beans or even later for use as a dry bean. USDA ARS accession number PI 549598. Each ounce contains approximately 90 to 100 seeds.
