Golden Butterwax Bush Beans

An old favorite that has been praised by gardeners for superior flavor, impressive yield, and natural disease resistance since the 1800’s. Golden Butterwax bean was originally introduced by D.M. Ferry and Co. in 1876. Excellent choice for canning and freezing. 

Red Swan Bush Bean

A beautiful selection from the late Robert Lobitz, the Minnesota bean man. This uniquely colored bean is nearly a true red shade on the thick, flavorful pods, with lovely pink flowers, too! This wonderful variety pleases the senses and yields well. 

Thai Soldier Bush Long Bean

 Foot-long pods are firm and very flavorful. A superior variety from Thailand, where long beans are a staple crop. Unusual and very choice! 

Blauhilde Bean

This heirloom from Germany is a  climbing type that makes enormous purple pods! Pods stay tender and stringless, even at 10" long!. The richly flavored pods are best appreciated when used fresh off the vines. 

Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean

This homesteaders’ heirloom was first mentioned in The Country Gentleman magazine in 1864 under the name of Texas Pole. It was introduced as Kentucky Wonder by James J.H. Gregory & Sons in 1877 and has been popular ever since. The 6-8" green pods are tender when cooked and have great flavor. In 1896 Peter Henderson & Co. said, “This we regard as far ahead of any other green Pole Bean.” 

Thai Purple Podded Yard Long Bean

The lovely, deep purple pods have green tips, are crisp and stay tender to amazing lengths often reaching 20 inches! The productive variety is a local favorite in Thailand where long beans are appreciated as a very important staple crop. 

Blue Lake Bush 274 Bean

A superb bush bean introduced in 1949 with huge yields of excellent quality pods and great taste. Earlier than most others and perfect for market.
