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 114” 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. 

Blue Lake: 64 days. Increasingly popular for canning and freezing because of its neat, straight, 
almost round, dark green pods. Small, ivory-white seeds. 
* Decatur: 65 days. All-America Silver Medal for 1942. Hardy and vigorous, climbs well and bears 
long, nearly straight pods, round, stringless and of fine quality. Seeds white. Has considerable ~ 
resistance to disease, particularly common bean mosaic. 
*Genuine Cornfield: 71 days. Round, straight, crease-backed pods, green at picking stage, purple 
mottled later; of good quality, though with slight string. Striped Creaseback and Scotia are similar. 
*Kentucky Wonder: 65 days. The Asgrow strain represents a thorough- 
bred development of this old favorite. Plants are tall and prolific. Pods 
are in clusters, long, curved and round, fiberless and brittle, with a 
distinctive flavor of their own. They should be picked young.

entirely stringless and of fine eating quality. Seeds black and medium 
small.
