Darrell, Not sure exactly what you looking for. There are quite a few European retailers. Most don't ship to the USA. Some of course do have resellers in the US. Mr. Fothergill, Thompson and Morgan, Francini come to mind. There are also some major grower/developers like Bakker Brothers. Many have USA affiliates like Bejo, De Ruiter, Enza Zaden

This is one that has an American distributor and lists a number of beans, I haven't ordered from them but have been considering it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Grow Italian

Here are a few that I have ordered from quite a bit in the past: teredesemnces (Kokopelli), Organic catalog (Chase Organics), KCB-Samen (great for interesting cucurbits), Le Biau Germe. Keep in mind that the shipping charges can be quite high. I have also gotten seeds, including beans, from European members of Seed Savers Exchange. I like both Grow Italian and Italian Seed and Tool quite a lot. They are American reps for Franchi, Bavicchi and Larosa Emanuele Sementi. I have also gotten seeds quite inexpensively on eBay sites in European countries. This year I got several very interesting and hard to find pepper seeds on ebay.es (Spanish eBay). You can get Tarbais beans right from the source at www.haricot-tarbais.com. It's an endlessly fun quest, made relatively easy by Google, especially during frigid New England winter nights.

I have tried to get catalogues from Baumaux, but although they put me on their email list they have never responded to inquiries nor sent me anything I can order from. Their listings are so extensive that it's almost impossible to find what you're interested in in their online catalogue. I haven't tried Kokopelli yet. Pinetree Garden Seeds has added some interesting European varieties recently. You can also order seeds from L'Atelier Vert, or frenchgardening.com, but as Lou noted, shipping can be high.

the Baumaux catalog can be downloadded as pdf. A bit tricky to find but here is the link

Just found my way back to this thread; I had forgotten where it was! I do know that the Baumaux catalogue can be downloaded, but it's a huge file and besides, I like to do my seed shopping in my armchair in front of the fire. Someone I know in France had an extra copy this year and kindly sent it to me; there are so many varieties to choose from!
