The Dwarf Fan Bean is very distinct from the above, and is a pretty object in the kitchen garden. It may be planted more closely than any of the others, and its small beans are excellent for table, especially if gathered before quite full grown. Garden beans should all be sown early; that is, in the autumn, in November or December, to stand the winter.
