Dear Gardening Friend,


Gardening is a great outdoor activity that helps relieve the stress of everyday life. It’s great to go out and see the fruits of your labors and even better to taste them. This year you will see many new bean varieties in the bush bean and the dry bean area especially on page 14. We are al- ways looking for good new beans and many of the old heirloom dry beans. If you have beans for us to try, please send them and you may see them added to the pages of this catalog.


We have noticed that many new gardeners are joining the ranks, many out of necessity to help the grocery bill. We would like to be your source of gardening information as well as your source for gardening products. If you have any question about gardening, please drop us a line either online at info@vermont- bean.com or through the normal mail. We will do our best to answer your questions.


We encourage you to go to www.egardenersplace.com if you have horticultural needs that we do not offer. We are proud to be a part of this extensive gardening website. You will find thousands of great products there for your yard and garden.


Once again, we would like to say, “Thank You” for your past and future orders - your loyalty is the foundation of our suc- cess. As our company continues to grow and prosper, we wish the same for you and your garden.


Enjoy a bountiful garden in 2012! FROM ALL OF US AT THE VERMONT BEAN SEED COMPANY
