Mitchell is an early-maturing, high-yielding bush, white (navy or pea) bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with the same maturity but 4% higher yield than Seafarer. It outyields OAC Seaforth by about 8% and is 1 d earlier in maturity. The disease reaction of Mitchell is the same as for Seafarer. Its main advantage is its yield performance as an early-maturing cultivar.Key words: Cultivar description, bean, dry edible (white, navy or pea), earliness
