Snap Bean (String (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Black Seeded Potomac') |
Have O.P. Pole bean vegetables |
Original source: AHS 2015 " long slender green pods, about 6 1/2 inches long and slightly curved. Excellent quality and flavor beans. It produced vigorously and heavily. Most beans were at the 4-6 foot level." Pre-1860 heirloom AAS selection in 1943 Grew very well for me in 2022, long slender pods in clusters that dried down nicely and shelled out easily. (Did not use any as snap beans with this first growing to increase the seed supply.) |

| Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Burpee's Tenderpod') |
Prev Bush bean vegetables |
2014 - Burpee seed purchased locally; watch for plants that are taller vines, apparently people had problems with that in 2013. First year of growing this plant for me. Extremely poor germination, only about half a dozen plants in 12 feet of row. |

Prev Bush bean vegetables |
a/k/a Canada Goose 2015: PSS http://www.abeancollectorswind... Small seed is white with grayish green speckles and orange around the hilum. Great for baking or soup. Quite productive plants with short runners. A very early and disease resistant bush plant. A very old variety. |

Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Cranberry') |
Prev heirloom Bush bean vegetables |
2015: PSS Note: There is also a cranberry pole bean. (see the Amishland seed site) "Can be used as a snap, shell or dry bean. As a dry bean, the variety stores exceptionally well. Maroon-colored beans are decorated with darker red, cranberry markings. This variety, dating back to the 1800s, is well-suited to short-season, cool summer climates." ** The beans that I have growing appear to be very similar as "Gross Brothers Vermont Cranberry bean" sold by Victory Seed. Pods are slim and flat, look like they would be good snap beans. There seem to be MANY different types of "cranberry beans," many with red-streaked pods (which mine are not). |

2021: SSE Seeds are maroon and white. Given to SSE by John Withee; named for Carrie Belle Stallard of Wise County, VA. The variety dates to at least the 1930s. Used as a dry bean, described as having a "wonderful rich, meaty flavor; great for soups." Also said to be excellent as a green shell bean, with a somewhat nutty flavor. |

2015: AHS 2016: saved seeds Originally from Russia; "The unique trait of this variety is that the flavor of the pods is similar to mushrooms when cooked" Described as "pods open when dry ("shatter")" but this has not been my experience. Dark brown seeds. 8/10/16: Very pleased with this bean this year; very productive of flat but thick yellow pods! |

2015: AHS "European horticultural type of bean. Heavy concentrated clumps of pods, 7 to 9 inches long per pod. Violet blue blossom. Some pods can be almost totally purple/red with little green pod showing." Supposed to be a great-tasting snap bean, and an aggressive grower. These were slower to germinate than my other varieties. |
