2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

this is related to my search for the parents of Purple Dove...

I wonder how anyone could find the parental combination that Robert Lobitz used to create Purple Dove. Most of what he released was bush beans. I would imagine that is what he mostly worked with. He worked with Purple Kidney beans. He had a snap bean called Purple Duke, Purple Queen and Royalty Purple Pod. These were the only purple podded beans I could see on his personal collection list that were purple podded.
