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.

Excerpt from In Color
One of the most remarkable facts in relation to present-day flower gardening is the development and popularisation of the Sweet Pea, which has gained for itself a position never previously held by a purely annual species. The claim of the Sweet Pea, therefore, for representation in the present series could not be overlooked.
The author, Mr. Horace J. Wright, is well known as the first secretary of the National Sweet Pea Society, and later as Chairman of the General and Executive Committees of that body. He has been connected most intimately with all the circumstances which have attended the development of the flower; therefore his experience is exceptional. It is this very experience which induced Mr. Wright to ask Mr. Thomas Stevenson to contribute a chapter on the special culture needed for exhibition flowers, for Mr. Wright's management of the N.S.P.S. exhibitions has impressed him with the value, in exhibition culture, of small details to which other cultivators need pay but little regard.
