This variety is from Kentville, Nova Scotia, but yellow eye beans are a classic type from the Northeast, especially associated with Maine. Productive bushes; beans are ideal for baking. There is an interesting range of shapes to the yellow “eye” markings over the hilum; study them carefully!

Plant after last frost; soil must be warm or seed will rot. Sow bush beans 1” deep, 3” apart in rows 2′ apart. Pick dry beans when pods are fully dry; seed must be dry enough to not dent with a fingernail for storage. You can also cut whole plants and dry them that way. Dry beans can be further dried on a tarp, then threshed by treading on them and winnowing away the chaff.
