Green Bean: Empress

 CERTIFIED ORGANIC SEED, 1 packet (50 seeds)

(Phaseolus vulgaris) (50-55 days, bush) An outstanding tasting, snap bush bean! Terrific quality and yield for freezing, canning and fresh eating. Vigorous stocky plants produce heavy yields of long, straight 5-6” stringless pods. A 1979 Gurneys' introduction, it was named ‘Empress’ and has been favored ever since.
