Rattlesnake Pole Bean


HEIRLOOM A very flavorful pole bean that has been popular in the west for some time. The vigorous vines will yield for the entire season as long as you keep them picked. Beans are quite long, 8-10" and the color is an attractive green with purple stripes. This one was a favorite in our taste trials. 65 Days.

Jacob's Cattle



HEIRLOOM Ancient. This is the most popular traditional soup and baking bean here in Maine. What Saturday night Bean Supper would be complete with out Jacob's Cattle and its remarkable effects on the digestive tract? Also known as Trout or Dalmatian bean, this is one of the earliest beans to dry even in our too short summers. An attractive combination of white and a deep maroon, and it can also be used earlier as a shell bean. Similar in appearance to a Native American bean called Anasazi. Bush type. 83 Days
