90 days dry. Plump, tasty beans cook down into a creamy soup in no time flat. The taste is mild and is suitable for soup, salad or baking. Pretty beans are soft yellow and have a slate coloured ring around the helium . They are about twice the size of a navy bean and mature early making them a good choice for short season gardens. Given to us by Frances Thorn who says that their delicate flavour and lemony scent make them one of her favourite dry beans.

50 days. The most reliable bush snap bean we have grown. Provider does just what its name suggests, it provides, no matter what the weather throws at it. Heavy yields of uniform, round green beans have a rich beany taste and are the first to ripen in our fields. Purple seed can tolerate cool soil for earlier sowing and plants are resistant to downy mildew and several bean viruses. You just can't go wrong with this one.
51 days. Beautiful purple-black beans follow pretty mauve flowers on prolific, upright plants. Beans
are produced at the top of the plant so harvesting is easy. Purple Teepee is cold tolerant and can
be planted approximately 2 weeks before most other beans. Purple beans have an excellent flavour and turn green when cooked.
55 days. Snap. Beautiful deep purple pods have a contrasting bright green interior and rich flavor.
When cooked, the purple turns to green indicating they are perfectly blanched. Wonderful raw, with
dip, or in salad. Tolerates cool conditions so you can sow them a little earlier than most beans.

70 days. Plump, speckled beans are encased in stringless, red streaked pods and ripen earlier than most dry beans. Eat the young streaked beans as snaps or wait until seeds plump up and enjoy them as shelly or dried beans. The flavour and texture are excellent, especially braised in a garlicky tomato sauce. Large showy pods are popular at market.
