76 Day. Flageolet. To really enjoy the flavor of flageolet beans, you must harvest them as a ‘green shell’ bean. Each pod of this variety contains 8-10 mint green seeds that are easily extracted from their pods. Te beans can be used fresh, in sal- ads, soups or as a vegetable by themselves. Tey can also be frozen for a delicious meal. Also good as a dry bean.

64 Day. An excellent shelling bean, renowned for its taste and shelling ease. We list this variety as a bush bean, although it produces runners for many customers. A very hardy bean, 18" tall, dependable and disease resistant. Preferred by many as a dry bean (90 days); however, we recommend it as a shelling bean. Freezing and canning qualities are superior.

White Half Runner COWPEA CULTURE
Also known as ‘Flesh Peas’, ‘Stock Peas’, ‘Texas Cream Peas’, or ‘Southern Peas’. Cowpeas have a high protein content and may be eaten as snaps or dried. Seed of certain varieties are very fragile and as a result they can lose germination rapidly. We recommend planting at a heavier rate to compensate. Excellent for use as a green manure crop. Plant ½ lb. for a 200' row. Packets contain 2 ounces.

56 Day. No matter whether you prefer your beans snapped, shelled or baked, this one is a must! Our strain is the original Fire Tongue from Italy with outstanding genetic purity. A magnificent snap bean when picked at 5" (56 days). Pods are flat and a lovely pale green with reddish-purple streaks and an unusual beany flavor. Irresistible in the green shell stage or leave to full maturity to yield a wonderful, flavorful dry baking bean. When seeds are harvested in the fresh shell stage they are white to buff colored with splashes of purple. As seeds dry and mature they are large, round and light brown colored with purple to dark brown mottling. Plants are robust with dark green foliage and lovely pink blossoms.
