A few years ago Brian Porter of Regina sent me some of these beans to preserve. Brian shared with me the following history. "In consultation with a lady named Anne (now about 83), from whom I obtained the seeds about twice in the past decade, she confirmed that she obtained the seed from her friend Lena of Regina. Lena or her family received the seeds during the "Dirty Thirties" as part of a relief package from the federal government. Apparently these seeds were distributed as cooking beans and Lena or possibly her mother decided to grow some for themselves rather than cook them all." Lena's Beans are extremely productive and can be grown as a twining bush or a shorter pole variety. The plants are also disease tolerant and produce many white seeds that can be used for baking. I am very happy to be able to offer this exciting piece of Canadian history!
