| A great dry bean with a superb flavor. Produced quite well during 2009 even in a cooler than normal summer in upstate NY. |

| This is the traditional Appalachian dry / shelly bean. Related to Vermont Cranberry and Borlotti, in my experience it's smaller and has more variety in the dry-bean color. But those little shrunken dry beans really plump up in soup. Tasty. (Oh, easy to grow, too.) |
