PLANT LIMA BEANS WITH THE EYES DOWN. 
The Lima has such heavy seed leaves that it can't tarn 
over in the ground and push its way through the soil as 
do smaller seeds. It rots before it can make the turn un- 
less it isi in light soil or covered only slightly. The bean 
has to come through the soil edge first, the seed leaves 
opening on the edge when they swell and burst the white 
papery covering. Planted eye down, the roots can start 
down and the thin edge can start pushing upward and it 
will come to healthy growth without difficulty.
