Well of course I can find 2 of every catalog except this one.
Pinetree Garden Seeds www.superseeds.com.  They are called Violetta
something or other.  Purple pole beans.  Pretty green leaves w/
reddish purple stems.  Don't have any beans just yet.  Supposedly they
are purple and very flavorful.  Have a slightly nutty flavor that the
Pinetree folks just love.

Mine don't - they grow like crazy!   The gourds and these Italiam
purple pole beans I planted this year.   I haven't even fertilized
them and they are growing a good 6" at a pop.  Amazing.

Thanks for the advice about the bottle gourd, Jesse. I put it in the
ground and gave it a taut string from a ground staple to a
bougainvillea vine 4 or 5 feet above it. It has embraced the string
like a long-lost lover and is crawling upward at a rate of about 6
inches per day. Male flowers are forming on the lower stem. This is
exciting. If I look at it, will I slow it down? :)
