| Another name for this variety is Early Riser and it lives up to the name. It is a very early polebean and actually is ready before bush snap beans. One of the best Italian style bean, I prefer it to Romano. Vigorous vine. Stays tender longer than most of this type |

| Northeaster beans are flat and stringless. Another with great flavor cooked or raw. A tasty treat while working in the garden. |

| Was not expecting the size and shape of these beans...HOW FUN! We had several that were over a foot long and they were flat as can be. Nice tasting too and a great variety for kids to open to see the seeds and practice seed saving with. Plus they were the only variety out of 3 within our 3 foot bed that the japanese beetles DID NOT touch! |

| Not sure what went wrong with the beans. They had very poor germination and did not grow well. No fruit set. |

| This is the best tasting raw pole bean I have ever tasted! When we've had our fill, I let them mature and save the seeds for baked beans--delicious! |

| Great bean for fresh eating. Reliable, sprouts in cooler, wet soils better than some other varieties, and the beans have a terrific, meaty taste even when more mature. Does not keep well in freezer, however. |

| we have grown this variety for the last 5 years and have been amazed at the high quality of the pods even at 10 inches long. During the peak production, they need to be picked every other day for best quality, but an extra day or two is ok as long as the seeds are not to thick. We plant two 12 foot rows of pole beans and get nearly constant production until frost in late October. At the peak of production we can fill a grocery bag every day. The flavor is better than any bush variety we have grown and we prefer it to either Blue Lake or Kentucky Wonder. |

| Great bean flavor. Best planted every two weeks for prolonged harvest. I love to grow my pole beans on "hooped" cattle panels so I can walk down my tunnel and pick the beans overhead. |

| This is the absolute best tasting pole bean in my book. However, its vines are very extended and unwieldy and it needs to be picked very often. It seems to go from being too small to overmature in hours, and quickly runs down if not kept picked. Planting in July for September harvest can tame some of these tendencies. Besides, even the overmature beans taste better than any bush bean. This is the bean we can't live with or without! |
