Johnny's 'Garden of Eden' is a lot like the bean I've been growing from
saved seed for many years from seed given to be by a co-worker. (I
bought seeds once to grow side by side for comparison.) Their
'Northeaster' is also a pretty good bean.

Once you do get a pole bean you really like, be sure to save your own
seeds.

Thanks to both of you. I am already saving a variety of romano beans
which is very early for snap beans. Besides being early, with a
tremendous first flush, I like the taste a lot. But it has been
discontinued at Territorial because if you let go those pods even one
week they become very tough. Also, it does not do much after the first
flush. But grown together with some more standard snap beans, it is
perfect. Garden of Eden or Northeaster it is.
