POLE LIMAS 
Of all the pole beans, limas are considered to have the greatest economic value. The 
culture is the same 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 down as when planted in this manner they germi- 
nate and come up more readily.
