| Im looking the following beans. They are grown widely in Maine, but I cannot find any seed here in CT. My ancesters were all from Maine, and I'd like to be able to grow some of their traditional beans. These beans were used primarily for baked beans (bean-hole-beans).
Marifax Bean
If anyone has any of these beans and would like to trade, I have many, many types of vegetable seeds and would be happy to trade for some bean seed. |

| I don't have these particular beans, but Fedco Seed in Waterville, ME carries Marbell and Soldier. They did carry Yellow Eye, but replaced it a few years ago with Kenearly. Might be worth a look. Good luck Rick |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fedco Seed search

| Soldier Beans and Yellow Eyes are usually available at the supermarkets here. E-mail an address and I will send some. Jim |

| Thank you both, I will look into FEDCO seeds. Do beans from the grocery store germintate well? |

| I went to FEDCO and was able to order some Marifax beans. Whohoo! I can't wait to plant them. Thanks, Rick |

| "Do beans from the grocery store germintate well?" Normally they do. I'll test these and let you know. Jim |
