I ordered from Wright Heirloom seed company in Hilman Tennessee. These were not the same as were sold several years ago from Mayo Seed Co out of Knoxville, Tennessee. The producer of their seed died several years ago and as far as I have been able to find out, was the only person that was producing the Blue Ribbon Pole Bean seed. Very disappointing to say the least. They were the best pole bean I have ever eaten.

Besides Southern Exposure and Baker Creek as possible bean sources the SSE Yearbook is treasure trove of all kinds of beans, bush and pole. But one needs to be an SSE member to request varieties from other members. However, Glenn Drowns at Sand Hill Preservation, online, offers many pole bean varieties that are from the Yearbook since he's an SSE member and also Curator for Cucurbits for SSE, and you might take a look at that site as well. Just a few that might interest you are: Brown Speckled Greasy, a cut short type Honeycutt Pioneer Cutshort ( N/A this season) Ohio Cutshort Old Time Cutshort If I were you I'd also check The Vermont Bean Seed Co, also online. Lots and lots and lots of bean varieties offered, of ALL types. Carolyn
