HALF RUNNER BEANS: Many people in recent years have stopped growing half-runners because poor quality control among commercial seed growers has led to more than half of the beans harvested being too tough to eat. We have worked for many years to find heirloom half runners that have never been part of the commercial seed business and which still maintain the productivity, flavor, and tenderness that made this type of bean so popular in decades past. Each packet contains a minimum of 100 seeds, unless noted otherwise.
