Excerpt from Hamilton Seed and Coal Co Culture. As the lima requires even more heat than other beans, a failure will follow a too early planting. The bean when favorably planted throws out from what we term the bean' s eye a stout root; this root in turn lifts the bean above the ground. The bean then opens its halves or false leaves, 01' cotyledons, and the_ true leaves soon follow. If in planting the bean is thrust into the soil eye down, and just below the surface, the bean is in a favorable position to begin its growth. However, the crop can be secured though with a lesser percent of germination by dropping the bean in any position.
