| If you saved the seeds and planted them next year, you might get something different than either one. Probably would be shorter climbing beans but you never know till you try. |

| Beans often self-pollinate before the blossoms even open up. That's one reason why they are such good seed saver crops. I'm not sure what commercial growers do to ensure cross-pollination. But again, the only way to know would be to plant some saved seeds. |
