Henderson's Black Valentine is a very delicious and prolific variety with a tried and true history. Pods are green with black seeds when mature. Honestly it's my personal favorite bush bean. An old history dating back to 1897 when it was introduced to the Heirloom market. It can be used for fresh snap or dry soup beans.

 How to Save Seeds

Beans seldom cross pollinate with one another since they are considered to be self pollinators. However that isn't to say it won't occur. So as a precaution it is recommended to grow to different colors of beans near one another if you are limited on space and then observe the seeds when ready. The seed will show signs of crossing if you grew to different colors. If you are concerned about crossing separate by 150ft as a rule. Harvest when completely dried; cure them for a week or so by allowing them to further dry out in their pods spread out from one another, then shell and discard trash.
