Amish Nuttle (pre-1800) - (a.k.a. Cornhill Bean, Mayflower) This bean was offered for sale by Bernard McMahon as early as 1802 and was also grown by the Amish for generations. Prior to this time, the Seneca and Iroquois called it the Corn Hill Bean and the Seneca considered it one of their oldest beans. It is ideal to grow with corn and is a typical cutshort variety with short, bumpy pods. The beautiful seed is small, squarish, beige with rose speckling on one end. Good for baking, stews and soups. Although most sources say that it is a late maturing variety, I have been growing it for a number of years in Manitoba with much success. (95 days for dry beans) Pole. |

Arikara - A very historic bean that helped sustain the Lewis & Clark expedition through the winter of 1805 at Fort Mandan! Lewis obtained seeds from the Arikara Indians and brought seeds to Thomas Jefferson and in 1809 Jefferson planted the Arikara bean at Monticello. Bernard McMahon also offered it in his 1815 catalogue. The pods can be harvested very young as snaps but this bean is best used in the dry state for soups, stews or baking. Mustard colored small flat seed on hardy, bush plants with short runners. Oscar H. Will carried the Arikara bean in his catalogue in the early 1900s. Productive, very early and an excellent baker.
