Description

Promise Half Runner

60 days — These beans were interchangeably called 'Promise', 'Phillips' and '1898' by those that have maintained this family heirloom. A 2004 Victory Seed Company introduction, this is a bean variety that has been grown by the Phillips family of Northeastern Oregon since 1898. John Phillips, Mike Dunton's Great-great grandfather, and a pioneer settler of Promise, Oregon, purchased these beans for growing on the homestead. Promise, despite the images its name may conjure, is a remote community in a harsh corner of the state.

This variety prolific, necessarily hardy and helped to sustain the family. Small white seeds produce semi-erect, half runner type plants that can benefit from some support. Good fresh or canned.

I received less than one ounce of seed from Mildred Axmaker (Granddaughter of John Phillips) of Colton, Oregon in 1999 and we have been multiplying it out ever since. 2004 was the public's first chance at trying these beans. Each packet contains one ounce, which is approximately 100 seeds. Please order no more than four samplers per family.
