Found this on web(Google-greasy cut shorts)----- Cornfield Beans. Better than ninety-five percent of the heirlooms are climbing beans popularly known as cornfield beans. Historically they were planted in corn fields and allowed to climb the corn stalks. They were harvested while the corn was still green and before it was either cut and shocked or topped above the ears for fodder. Of those climbing beans, there are three distinct types. One is known simply as the Cornfield Bean, which just means that it is a climbing bean. Another is known as the Cut Short, which simply means that the beans are so closely packed in the pod that they square off on the ends. In other words, they are "cut short." The final one is The Greasy Bean, which means that it doesn't have the fuzz of most beans and is slick or "greasy" in appearance. A bean can be a combination of all three types and, for example, be a "long speckled greasy cut-short cornfield bean." These beans are of many colors and shapes, as will be discussed later.
