Brockton Horticultural
(Brockton Horticultural, Brockton Pole)
(Pole)
“This valuable bean introduced to the trade in the fall of 1884, and the following spring, through the medium of our annual catalogue, we distributed it quite extensively among our retail customers; nothing but good reports have been received from it during that period. We know of no pole bean which we would so unhesitatingly recommend for general culture in all localities as this sort […] It originated in Brockton, Mass., with a veteran gardener of long experience, and is pronounced by him as the most profitable variety for his use. We procured our original stock from him.” (‘Low’s Seed Catalogue and Garden Manual’, Aaron Low & Son, 1891)

“Nashua, N.H., Jan 26,
Dear Sir:— The Brockton Pole Bean is the handsomest pole bean I have ever grown. It is a splendid shell bean; the foliage is strong, thrifty and handsome; great bearer, and my neighbour said that before the pods begin to redden they are a nice string bean; none better, he says.
Yours Truly,
C.H. Campbell.” (‘Low’s Seed Catalogue and Garden Manual’, Aaron Low & Son, 1891)
