814RATTLESNAKECert. BD/OGBeautiful and productive pole beans with green and red stripy-speckled pods, can be picked very young for eating whole or as fresh shelling beans once the beans have swelled in the pods. We are very excited to be able to offer this variety! 810RED NOODLECert. BD/OG(Vigna unguiculata)Long Burgundy Noodle-like beans form from beautiful pale lilac blossoms on vigorously climbing vines. This Asian noodle bean performed very well in our garden and cooking trials, tasters agreed that it had great texture when cooked, and added an pleasant color to stir-fries and soups. Kids love to pick this curious bean, and, as a gardener friend pointed out, the color and length of the bean make harvesting easier, and your bowl fills faster! Does best in warm climates, but also did very well in the cool, rainy NY summer. 
812EARLY RISERCert. BD/OG40-55 days.Extremely early Romano-type pole bean. Flat, green 8-10 in. long pods on vigorous vines up to 6-10 ft. Young pods are a real treat fresh, steamed or chopped into a stir-fry. Does well in northern climates with a long harvesting season from early summer to frost. We like them straight off the vine! 
811AUNT ADA'S ITALIANCert. BD/OG55-60 days.HEIRLOOM came to Colorado from Italy with the Botanelli family circa 1900. 6 ft. vines with a prolific set of small 3 in. flattened pods. In summer, we can hardly let a meal go by without including this delectable green bean. The taste is best if picked when the outline of the beans are bulging in the green pod, and steamed about 15 to 20 minutes; it's like a small buttery snap lima bean. When we shared this variety with friends, they said it was the best green bean they'd ever eaten! This is a great dual purpose bean, see Soup Beans for more info. This is the same bean as the Soup bean, but there are different growing/cooking instructions. 813FORTEXCert. BD/OG60-70 days.Extra long, round, green pods can be picked at 7 inches for an extra tender fillet, but grow up to 11 inches.
