ADORED IT' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle - When we say there are a few different types of sweet peas we are referring to their key characteristics and flower form. The Sweet Pea originated in Sicily as a wild flower first recorded by a monk, Franciscus Cupani, in 1695 who subsequently sent seeds to plantsmen in Europe where it became widely grown.

Cousins to the Sweet Pea, Lathyrus species are within the same family but are rarely scented. They come in both annual and perennial forms with a wide range of plant heights and colours.

Large vintage sweet pea bookplate print | floral, antique, wall art, spring, summer, gardening gift By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list. There are around 160 different Lathyrus Species around the world, of which the Sweet Pea ( Lathyrus odoratus) is one. Other varieties of Lathyrus do not have the scent of the Sweet Pea, but they do make interesting garden plants. Some are annual and some perennial. New Varieties Two of the key books provide summaries of sweet pea crosses - MS Add.10161/1/5/16for 1904-1909 and 1914and MS Add.10161/1/5/17for 1908-1939. The latter is labelled ‘ Lathyrus ledger’, signed inside by R.C. Punnett, Whittinghame Lodge. It is important because it contains summary records of the sweet pea crosses carried out from 1908 through, in some cases, to 1931, with additional notes for 1936-1939. These summaries are cross referenced to the main series of sweet pea notebooks. Inside the cover of this ledger is a list of letter codesreferring to phenotypic characters, e.g. A1 - purple/red (flowers), A2 - long/round (pollen), A3 - erect/hooded (flower shape). Many of the crosses in the notebooks are then identified only by these codes e.g. A1 x D2.The general format of the record is that the parents are recorded as numbers with a superscript, e.g. 90 2 x 68 1, or sometimes a named variety (e.g. Blanche Burpee). Since sweet peas can be selfed, some crosses have only a single parent. The date of sowing and the date of planting out are also recorded, together with other observations on the plants such as colour, height and petal form. In the earlier books these observations are cryptic and difficult to decipher, with lots of abbreviations used (e.g. rd = red; pk = pink; wh = white; prpl = purple; lt = light; dk = dark; EH = Emily Henderson; ax = axil; pic = picotee).

A intermediate of both Spencer and Old-Fashioned varieties. Highly scented with longer stems. Limited colour range.

Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth By 1903 Bateson had begun work on sweet peas and these records are contained in a series of 40 notebooks, 17 of which are presented here. The start of this series of experiments coincides with the rediscovery of Mendel’s papers on sweet pea genetics, which clearly triggered Bateson’s interest in sweet peas. Sweet peas were particularly suitable for genetic studies due to their ability to self-pollinate and their easily observed Mendelian traits, including colour, height and petal form.

Our most popular type. As with the poultry breeding, Bateson began with commercial varieties of sweet peas, which showed variation in plant form and flower colour. Many of these varieties were obtained from seed companies, in particular Suttons of Reading, and are named in the early records. One of these, Blanche Burpee, is a true breeding white variety, which when crossed with another white variety, Emily Henderson, produced progeny with purple flowers and led to the discovery of complementation.The sweet pea notebooks are labelled on the cover with the year, and inside with ‘sweet pea crosses’ and sometimes where the plants were grown. For example, 04 Fcontains records of plants grown ‘at the farm’. This could perhaps mean Trinity farm, although later notebooks in this series refer to Merton Hall Farm, and this may be a more likely location. There are clearly at least two handwriting styles in these records, and since Bateson and Punnett had begun their collaboration, it is probable that at least one of these is Punnett’s. Very easy to grow, most annuals can be left to self-seed around the garden for year on year colour. Can be sown in succession to prolong the flowering season. From Book 06 II onward, many of the notebooks contain maps of the plots where the plants were set out during the summer.
