89 days. Named after the Elbe River in Germany, this indeterminate produces 12-ounce deep yellow-orange fruits on vigorous vines.

87 days. Large, pink oxheart-type Russian tomato grows 3-pound, meaty, solid, sweet-flavored fruits on tall plants.

82 days. Fruit size about the same as Yellow Pear but with a deep mahogany color and juicy, sweet, fruity flavor.

56 days. A monoecious, indeterminate, disease-resistant pickler with a small seed cavity.

78 days. High-yielding, early, with very sweet flavor.

49 days. A variation on Royalty Purple Pod. A bush bean with a glabrous skin like the southern "greasy" beans.

65 days. A family heirloom from Spain. It's a long, broad, flat bean with sweet, tender flavor.

An indeterminate heirloom producing 4- to 10-ounce sized fruits, 80 to 90 days after transplanting. This variety is unique for its color. The flattened shape and ribbing are highlighted by the tangerine'orange fruits with splashes of purple. The purple gets more pronounced as the fruits mature.
