Excerpt from In Color
It may be claimed for the Sweet Pea that it will yield far more blossoms than any other plant which can be grown in the Open gardens Of this country; that, in comparison with others, it is wonderfully Cheap-for a Single penny one can procure a packet Of seeds which will yield anything from 50 to 100 plants, all of which will develop several scores of splendid flowers that the demands it makes upon the time and patience of the cultivator are not great; that there is no single species that provides a wider range Of colouration, or flowers so valuable for the adornment Of the garden over such a protracted period.
The Sweet Pea thrives in most parts Of the British Empire. In New Zealand, Australia, Canada, British Columbia, and South Africa special exhibitions are held in its honour.
