Topics covered: Why soil structure and drainage were considered more important than soil type How early and successive greenhouse sweet pea crops were planned Maintaining continuous sweet pea production without weakening plants Preventing mosaic disease and controlling aphis in commercial plantings Preserving stem length, flower quality, and plant vigor How sweet peas were graded, bunched, and prepared for market How selection and hybridization improved sweet pea color, form, and stems This is sweet pea growing as a profession, viewed through the lens of nearly a century of horticultural history—and why these principles still hold value today.
