POLE LIMAS 



Of all the pole beans, limas are considered to have the greatest economic 

 value. The culture is the saE>e as for .other pole beans except that being more 

 tender, the seed is usually planted one to two weeks later. In firm soils it 

 will be found of advantage to place the beans on edge with the eye dow n as 

 when planted in this manner they germinate and come up more 'readily.
