I grow duane baptiste beans Aka potato beans Aka deseronto beans. They are an indigenous pole bean variety. They are extremely rare as they were cultivated only by the Mohawk Indians of the Mohawk valley area prior to 1784. After which they were brought into present day Canada by those Mohawk indians specifically to tyendinaga Ontario. This is where they aquired their first English name of deseronto bean As the abundance of them were cultivated by the mohawk band under the leadership of captain John deseronto. The next name was a acquired when a man from the same village ( tyendinaga ) by the name of duNe baptiste was noted for his special cultivations and distribution of these beans. Still with no official English name they aquird his name, Duane baptiste beans. This variety has always remained local aside from a few people acquiring a handful of seeds to grow. Even more now very few people of our own nation even grow this bean if any other of our indigenous Mohawk varieties of food. It is very sad indeed needs to be embraced as in all honesty they are the very reason my one of us are here today, native and non native alike. I personally grow many of these varieties And am willing to share my knowledge of these items. Please, let's discuss.

Wow! Somebody pick me up off the floor cause I've been blindsided by the generosity of Duane456 ...who sent me an envelope teeming with horticultural treasures for postage! Gardeners in general and Duane in particular really inspire me to believe in the inherent goodness of mankind. I shall honor you and pass these forward. Thank you, Duane.

Thanks Duane for the Southwood tip. I'll try and check them out. There is an article posted on the carolinachair.com site from the wall st journal that references a 30 day return policy. The only reference I can find on their site is here: http://www.carolinachair.com/custom.html "Custom orders are unique items to our line of furniture and the 30 day return policy is not available." But I can't find anything else about the 30 day policy. That's a good point and I'll have to contact them. Coleen, I'm also in the New Haven area. I will check out Southwood but I am skeptical that the prices will be in line with these. It just seems that high quality furniture here is very expensive. We ordered swatches from Carolinachair.com and Cathy responded with an email and we had our swatches 2 days later with a note to order more if we wanted to. It makes sense to me that their furniture is high quality and affordable as they are selling it direct. But it is risky buying something without having sat on it.
