POLE LIMAS 



Carpinteria Pole; L 



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 germinate and come up more readily.
