Is the White Caseknife white seeded? Back around 1983 I ran into a woman from KY who gave me some bean seed from her jar. She was on the way to her garden and had all her beans, mixed in that jar. Most of what she gave me was white seeded. She called it "Big White Pole Bean." I called it "Silver Lake," after a nearby town (in Indiana). I have always suspected it was actually a Caseknife bean. It had large, elongated white seed and the pods were much like what you show in the picture above.
