A 1917 sweet-pea growing manual and variety record
Originally published in 1917, this facsimile preserves G. W. Kerr’s practical guide to cultivating sweet peas alongside an extensive period catalogue of named varieties, running from ‘A.B. Bantock’ to ‘Zoe.’ Chapters address soil preparation, sowing indoors and outdoors, planting, supports, cultivation, manuring, watering, and the pests and blights discussed in the original text. Its value lies both in its focused crop-specific instruction and in its record of heirloom sweet peas known at the time. As an unmodernized reprint, it retains the original typography and may include age-related visual imperfections; its historical gardening methods should be approached as period material.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Gardeners interested in sweet-pea cultivation
