Hats off to Derby
Reviewed By: Hats off to Derby (Jane Arnold, Poplar Bluff)
I have grown Derby for 4 years and been very pleased every year, regardless of the weather, hot & dry or too wet. Very nice shaped, tender, stringless beans for a long growing season with no viruses.

Best Bush Bean Ever
Reviewed By: Dave Harris (Plain City, OH)
I've been growing bush beans in Central Ohio for over 40 years. I have never found any to compare to the Derby Bean. They produce all summer long and they stay tender and flavorful way past the time other beans have grown stringy and starchy. They are also very productive and seem to be rust resistant in this area. This is a real winner.
