Kentucky Wonder
65 Days (to green stage) — A green pole bean with long,
fleshy, and stringless pods. Very reliable, early
maturing, and productive. An old favorite enjoyed fresh, canned, dried, or frozen.
The seeds can also be used dry as an excellent baking bean. About 75 seeds per ounce.
Scarlet
Runner
60 to 90 Days
— Heirloom variety grown as
early as 1750. A very vigorous grower and good producer. The
vines can grow to eighteen feet. Often planted for its ornamental
beauty and hummingbird attractor, it is good young as a snap bean or mature as a shelled or
dry bean. The seeds are large, purple but sometimes
lavender, mottled with black. About 25 to 30 seeds per ounce.
Snowcap
100 days
— These larger reddish, tan and white beans are
named for their apparent "cap of snow" on the markings.
Many consider them to be the creamiest and best flavored bean.
It increases 2½ times (e.g. one cup dried beans equals 2½ cups
cooked) and keeps its markings when cooked. About 30
seeds per ounce.
