Tow-headed beanpole
Hi teachers, could you please give me definition of "tow" in context of sentence as follow:
"And this one over here," he added, indicating a tow-headed beanpole, "that's her brother, Fred."
In dictionary, I found tow means to pull a car or boat behind another vehicle, using a rope or chain, which can't be used for the context above.
"And this one over here," he added, indicating a tow-headed beanpole, "that's her brother, Fred."

There is a different word spelled "tow". You hardly ever see it any more outside of "tow-headed". An abridged dictionary might well not include it. It means, according to the AHD, "Coarse broken flax or hemp fiber prepared for spinning."

Hi all. It's terribly difficult to find it in any dictionaries, either tow or tow-head. Thanks for your help.
