TOPCROP— 
One of the nicest things about pole 
beans is that they can be grown 
along the garden fence, and this 
makes them especially valuable for 
city gardening. For those who have 
corn fields, just plant a few climbing 
beans along the edge of the field and 
the cornstalks will support the beans. SPECIAL OFFER
