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). From Book 06 II onward, many of the notebooks contain maps of the plots where the plants were set out during the summer. You MUST read this book especially if you like your (anti) heroes dirty-mouthed, deadly and dark, dark dark. ADORED IT' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle - This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American Psycho” - Red 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.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. Book 10F contains the first instance where the term ‘F1’ is used to denote the first filial generation. Experiments were being carried out on a bigger scale and more progeny were being scored (150 to 200 per cross in some cases).

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. 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. Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret. When we say there are a few different types of sweet peas we are referring to their key characteristics and flower form.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. 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.
