Viney plants can be grown on the ground like a bush bean, but would probably benefit from growing on some support. Very productive of 4 to 5 inch oval green pods that are lightly streaked with purple. 4 to 6 small seeds per pod.
The origin is unsure but, according to Fruitition Seeds, seeds were traded at the Common Ground Fair in Maine, USA, in 2003. We obtained them from a seed swap in Ontario.

The Ferland Family bean is a yellow, flat, climbing heirloom bean, saved by René Paquet of Seeds of Diversity.
Originating from Saints-Anges, they were handed to Mr. Gérard Parent in 2001 by Mrs. Carmelle Boily Ferland (1916-2015), who received them from her parents, Cleophas Boily et Demerise Turmel. According to Mrs. Paquet, who then received them from Mrs. Parent, they date back to before 1900.
The pods can be harvested fresh, even when pretty ripe, or as dry beans.

Dwarf bean variety that produces a seed halfway between pea and fava bean. According to the Potager d'Antan : « It was still being cultivated in 1999 by a 80 year old man from Lotbinière, Monsieur Laliberté, who confirmed us the plant was unique in Canada. (...) Given by Laliberté's son to Antoine D'Avignon, Seeds of Diversity guardian angel. Antoine passed away in 2003. His sister, Mme. Gisèle D'Avignon, gave us the seeds. » Delicious in pea soup, a traditional meal in the province of Quebec in the past century. This variety is very rare and is considered endangered.

This yellow climbing bean is very vigorous and produces long yellow pods that are delicious eaten fresh, and are not fibrous.
The man who shared them with us saved the seeds of his bush beans year after year until, to his surprise, he noticed they were turning into climbing beans! He then named them Daroi. We were impressed by their quality and so we decided to share them with you.

Very vigorous climbing green bean, grows deep purple flowers and long striped pods. These pods can be eaten fresh. Once dry, the beans are striped too, dark grey on a paler backdrop. Please note that the hilum is not located at the centre of the bean, as it is not symmetrical. This gives the impression that the bean has been crushed once dry.
The Seeds of Diversity organization as listed this variety as very rare. It is believed to come from the Mennonite people from the Waterloo region in Ontario.

Rare, hardy and high-yielding variety. Once grown by Iroquoian people. The plant can reach up to 2 m in height, and has white and purple flowers. The pods can be eaten when still young as green beans.
Its name, skunk, refers to the gorgeous black and white marks characteristic of the beans. They can also, although more rarely, be entirely black. Their flat-shape is reminiscent of lima beans. Once fully ripe, they are ideal for soups. We have tried them for baked beans (fèves au lard) and they are delicious mixed with some Kahnawake Mohawk beans.
This bean was rediscovered by Chester in Vermont and saved by Gail Flagg from Fort Kent, Maine (U.S.).
Ideal for the Three Sisters, to be grown with the Canada Crookneck squash.

Also known as the "Montreal Market Muskmelon" or "Montreal Nutmeg Melon". This mythical green flesh melon with a nutmeg flavor has almost disappeared.
The earliest records come from the Jesuits, who cultivated this variety in the Montreal Plain in 1684. According to the Potager d'Antan : "this melon went through many selections during the 17th Century, before being introduced under the name "Montreal Melon", in 1870. In the 1880s, it was listed as one of the best seller in New England by American seed company Burpee".
Very popular at the beginning of the 1900s and until the 1950s, it was largely commercialized and grown by three families : the Aubin, the Décarie and the Gorman. But lack of labour force, rises in wages and the spreading of the city triggered its decline. As highways paved the island, it slowly faded from our collective memory. When farms vanished from Montreal, it risked being obliterated. Until a journalist found its trace in a seed bank, in the United States.
This melon is a living proof of our seed and food diversity decline. Save your seeds and share them.
Heirloom variety. Listed on Slow Food Canada's Ark of Taste.
Pkt : 12 seeds.
