Green Bean Varieties


Pole Beans
Bush Beans


Until 1894, most varieties of snap beans were stringy and only fair in quality.  In 1894, the first successful stringless beans were introduced as Burpee Stringless Green Pod.  Now all varieties commercially sold are stringless.

Principal varieties of green snap beans for the fresh market are Contender, Resistant Asgrow Valentine, Tendergreen, Topcrop, Wade, Bountiful and Burpee, and Landreth Stringless Greenpod.

  • Yields: Pole beans far out-produce bush varieties.
  • Green or "Snap" or are grown for pencil-diameter pods. When fresh and crisp can be "snapped" or broken with your fingers
  • Filet (Haricots verts) type: Grown for the green pods but picked when very slender -1/8 in diameter
