POLE LIMAS 
Of all the pole beaus, 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 tney germinate and come up more readily.
