Dutch Princess Bean
3,78 $
Green bush bean, with small round and sweet pods. A delight! This variety was found on a trading table at a Seedy Saturday event in Frelishburg, QC, in 2013. The name seems ancient, and it is not listed on any of the list of seed saving organizations in either Canada nor the U.S. Limited quantities. VERY RARE.
If someone has any additional informations on its origin, please share it with us. It it one of our favourites, and we are dying to get to know it better!
Addendum: In November 2016, we found a mention of a Dutch Princess bean in the “New-Zeland Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science /Experimental Agriculture” of March 1978. The origin of the bean is, unsurprisingly, Dutch. It seems it was named by the seed saver William Damn Seeds, who sells an improved version of a Dutch Princess bean. We also found a Dutch Princess bean mention in a research center from… Tanzania, in Arusha, (Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT)) in 1972. To be continued…
