Re: My favorite yellow pole bean is Goldfield, a flat yellow large
(easily a foot long) that is flavorful fresh and freeze really well. One
8 feet row of Goldfield produces fresh eating and freezer yellow beans
in sufficient quantity for us for the winter. I usually give a few bags
away too. Emerite is a long round green pole beans that I like. I also
plant 8 feet of Emerite.

Hélène,

Does your mention of the purple bean with a string mean that you
consider Goldfield and Emerite stringless? Can you recommend a source
for seed?
