LIMA BEANS 
CULTURE. Limas should be planted a little later than 
the other running beans, in the most favorable location 
possible, as they are very late in maturing. Always plant 
with the eye down. The Bush Lima is more easily grown 
than the tall, and is earlier and more economical of 
space. The Pole Limas yield heavier.
