Capitano ~ A taste sensation, these glowing yellow Romano beans have a delicious full flavor and tender texture. A flattened bean that keeps it's tenderness even at full size.

Purple Velour ~  French filet type beans, royal, deep purple color and equally rich, satisfying flavor make this the epitome of luxury in a vegetable. The slender, smooth, round pods are straight, gorgeous, sumptuous, stringless beans with extra fine texture and taste. When cooked, the purple color changes to brilliant green.

Dragon's Tongue ~  Probably the best multipurpose bean available. It's suited to use as a fresh snap bean or as a shelled bean when fully mature. As a snap, harvest when the flat beans turn from lime green to buffed yellow with bright purple stripes.

Mascotte French Filet ~ The first bean to win an All-America Selection in more than 25 years, it offers stringless, slender, crunchy beans packed with flavor and nutrition.

Romano Purpiat ~ Lustrous purple pods, pods are so tender, crisp, and delicious that we found them irresistible picked fresh from the plant. The pods turns them a brilliant jade-green with a nearly stringless texture when cooked.
