LIMA BEANS 
CULTURE. Limas should be planted a little later than the 
other running beans, in the most favorable location pos- 
sible, 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.
