All About Sweet Peas W T Hutchins

This special re-print edition of Rev. W. T. Hutchins's book "All About Sweet Peas" is a guide to growing Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus). Written in 1892, this short text was originally published by W. Atlee Burpee and Company and provides the basics about how to grow Sweet Peas for pleasure in the garden, as well as for cut flowers. Included are details about the rise of popularity of Sweet Peas during the 19th century and insights into many varieties of Heirloom Sweet Peas. Of particular interest in this basic guide are the excellent illustrations on trellis and training systems for Sweet Peas that are seldom seen in other garden books, as well as many tips on growing sweet peas for the best quality blossoms and cut flowers. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
