DWARF FRENCH BEANS COMING INTO FLOWER

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwarf French Beans (SPRITE) coming into flower.
They look healthy plants with plenty of flower buds,
this variety is a heavy cropper and the more you pick
many more are produced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwarf French Bean 'Sprite' is a lovely, 
elegant variety bred in continental Europe
producing exquisite smooth stringless pencil thin pods 
on bushy, compact plants which 
need no support through the season.
