Pole Lima Of all the Pole Beans, Lima 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. About the time Maple leave start, set poles three feet apart, manure liberally in the hill and plant 5 or 6 beans eye down (to help germination), about each pole. Thin to 3 in a hill. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted. As frost threatens in the fall, pull each root loose, lift the pole and vines and stand in some shed or hen house. The hens will enjoy the leaves and the beans will be fresh for weeks. One lb. will plant about 50 hills. Early Leviathan Lima. The earliest variety of Pole Lima; produces pods in clusters.
