Asgrow Seeds are Well-bred 
BEANS —Pole 
Plant a little later than dwarf beans when the ground is warmer. Poles 7—8 ft. above ground should 
be about 4 ft. apart. Three or four poles may be pulled together at the top and tied, for rigidity. 
Round each pole set 6 beans l 1 //' deep, thinning to 4 per pole later. Pole beans repay this work by 
heavier yields and longer picking seasons than bush beans. Allow about 1 lb. per 100 poles ; 
30-35 lb. per acre, depending on the size of the seed. 
* Genuine Cornfield: 71 days. Prolific plants with round, straight, crease-backed pods, medium 
green at picking stage, becoming purple mottled later; of good quality, meaty and tender though 
with slight string. Seeds greenish buff mottled, with brown stripes. Striped Creaseback and Scotia 
are similar though differing in minor points. 
Golden Cluster Wax: 74 days. For snap, green shelled or dry beans. Flat pods. 
Kentucky Wonder 
Asgrow Strain 
* Kentucky Wonder: 65 days. The Asgrow strain has had close atten¬ 
tion on our breeding grounds for several years and now represents a 
thoroughbred development of this grand old favorite. Plants are very 
tall, vigorous and prolific. Pods are in clusters, long, curved and 
round, meaty, fiberless and brittle, with an excellent and distinctive 
flavor of their own. They should be picked just as soon as they reach 
full size, 7 1 /2 , '-8" long. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax: 68 days. Very popular. Flat pods, nearly 
stringless. 
Ideal Market (Black Valentine Pole): 60 days. The earliest pole bean; 
hardy and vigorous with silvery green, round pods. 
Lazy Wife: 74 days. So called because the pods cluster well and are 
easily picked. A good late variety. 
London Horticultural (Speckled Cranberry): 70 days. Medium-sized 
pods, dark green when young, stringless, slightly curved. Seeds buff 
splashed with dark red. 
Mammoth Horticultural: 73 days. Pods large, heavily splashed with 
red. Seeds large, buff mottled with red. 
♦McCaslan: 65 days. Widely grown throughout the South. Strong, 
hardy plants with large, thick-flat, green pods 7"-9" long, stringless 
when young and of good flavor. 
* Missouri Wonder: 66 days. Used when young for snaps, though not 
stringless; later as dry shell beans, gray-buff and tan-mottled in color. 
Pods are shorter, broader and flatter than the Asgrow strain of Ken¬ 
tucky Wonder. 
Round Pod White Kentucky Wonder: 63 days. A new variety used in 
California. Resistant to some forms of bean rust. 
Tennessee Wonder (Brown Sickle): 70 days. Large, handsome pods of 
light green. 
White Creaseback: 65 days. An early, productive sort with round 
tender pods that ship well, and small white seeds. White Cornfield 
is similar but later and heavier. 
White Kentucky Wonder, Asgrow Strain: 64 days. Similar to Kentucky 
Wonder except that seeds are white, instead of brown.
