BROAD BEANS AT WISLEY, 1917. 
l6l 
There was little difference in the time at which the different varieties 
of beans were fit to pick, but the following were ready on June 25 : 
Nos. 1, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 29, 31, 32, 35, 42, the remainder 
maturing within about four days. 
The varieties are grouped under ' Broad Windsor ' types, with 
broad, almost round seeds and short pods, usually broadest towards 
the end, containing few seeds ; ' Longpod ' types with longer pods, 
typically containing a greater number of usually smaller seeds ; and 
' Fan ' types with several smaller, more or less clustered pods in place 
of the one or two^of the other types and smaller seeds. Each of these 
is again divided into white- and green-seeded types.
