Blue Lake Pole Bean Origin: USA Item #: POLEBEAN001 For many years, the Blue Lake Pole Bean has been considered the STANDARD for all pole green bean varieties. In fact, in the early part of the 20th century, the Blue Lake Pole Bean was the only bean grown for canning purposes in the Blue Lake area near Ukiah, California where it was developed. In 1923, this wonderful pole bean variety arrived in Oregon, which at that time, was the heart of bean research and bean production in the United States. According to the late James A. Baggett of OSU (who contributed so much to the world of horticulture during his tenure at OSU as a vegetable researcher and variety developer), by the 1950's, over 10,000 acres of Blue Lake Pole Beans were being grown in Western Oregon. As a result of the cultivation of this variety, Oregon's Willamette Valley in the north west part of our state, became famous around the world for their hand-picked beans. Prior to this era, Blue Lake Beans were often stringy and many had colored seeds, but with its popularity in Western Oregon, it became much improved into the Blue Lake Beans we know and love today. Currently, most strains of Blue Lake Pole Beans trace back to the breeding efforts of the Ferry-Morse Company during the 1950's. Today, despite its origin as a humble canning variety, Blue Lake Pole Beans are now widely recognized as a gourmet bean variety! Fine produce sellers and grocers who are in "the know" often advertise them as "Blue Lake Beans" opposed to selling them as simple "Green Beans", while immature pods of this great old variety are sold as "Baby Blue Lake Beans", which illustrate that even the non-gardening general public recognize this variety as the best green bean on the market. In fact, despite the many new bean offerings by countless seed houses throughout the world, the Blue Lake Bean continues to more than hold its own against the new-fangled varieties created through scientific breeding and genetic modification! In a recent taste-test performed by Sunset Magazine, 5 out of 6 tasters preferred Blue Lake to the other varieties tested. Blue Lake Pole Bean produces a heavy crop of delicious, tender, tasty green beans that reach 6 to 7 inches in length. Unlike Runner Beans, this lovely bean variety does not require the presence of bees for pollination. The jade green colored pods are ideal for canning or freezing, are stringless and are high in Vitamins A, B and C. Some form of support is necessary to grow this wonderous bean variety as the vines will reach 7 feet in height. Matures in 55 to 65 days..

Henderson's Bush Lima Bean (Henderson's Baby Lima Bean) Origin: USA Item #: LIMABEAN002 Henderson's Bush Lima Bean (also known as "Henderson's Dwarf Lima Bean", "Earliest Bush Lima Bean" and "Henderson's Baby Lima Bean" was first introduced by the Peter Henderson Seed Company in 1888. Two somewhat different legends surround the origin of this wonderful lima bean variety. According to one legend, this bean was found growing wild along a fence on a Virginia roadside by a soldier returning home from the American Civil War in 1865. The second, more detailed legend, states that the bean variety was actually growing along side a Virginia roadside in 1885 by a common laborer. The laborer then sold the seeds he collected from the lima bean variety to T.W. Woods & Son's Company of Richmond, Virginia, who in turn sold the bean stock to Peter Henderson. What is known for fact is that Henderson was responsible for introducing the variety to the public three years later in 1888. Henderson's Bush Lima Bean is the old fashioned standard for lima or wax beans in the United States and will still give any modern lima bean variety a great run for its money nearly 120 years later. This old fashioned bean variety is ideal for canning, freezing and drying, which make it ideal all around. This lovely variety features tall, bushy plants which are reliable and early producers and will provide enormous yields of lima beans right up until the first frost. Bush lima beans are very easy to cultivate and this variety will produce a great crop of small, flat, slightly curved, bean pods which contain 3 to 4 plump, buttery flavored lima beans that will dry to an ivory white in color. This variety produces earlier than most bean varieties, providing a fine harvest within 60 to 65 days. This great lima bean is drought tolerant and is extremely suitable for the American South.

King of the Garden Pole Lima Bean Origin: USA Item #: LIMABEAN007 The King of the Garden Pole Lima is an old fashioned, heirloom lima bean that was first introduced in 1883 and has remained very popular ever since. This variety is a very good climber and reaches heights of up to eight feet.

The beans are very plump and possess a fine buttery taste. One of the best choices for using dried. Matures in 70 to 75 days.

Dark Red Kidney Bean Origin: USA Item #: DRYBEAN001 The Dark Red Kidney Bean is the famous dry bean that is used in Chili Con Carne and various other well known dishes. This variety is also known as the Red Bean, which sometimes causes confusion between it and the Adzuki Bean. The Red Kidney is a medium sized variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and features a dark red shell with a cream colored flesh. Its popularity can be attributed to its excellent flavor and many uses. Dark Red Kidney Beans are a bush variety which are produced on a sturdy plant which yields an abundance of hearty pods that contain five large red, kidney shaped beans. Kidney Beans may be dried or canned, but either way, great care must be taken to boil Kidney Beans for at least 10 minutes before consuming them. Kidney Beans contain a toxic compund called lectin phytohaemagglutinin which can cause severe stomach upset if the beans are eaten raw. Boiling degrades this compound. Matures in 95 days.
