Review :
Sweetpeas. Redolent of English country gardens, full of scent and synonymous of summer, these attractive, easy-to-grow plants can be found in most gardens during the summer months, enchanting the beholder with their beauty and aroma. Easy to grow, if looked after well they will reward the grower a hundredfold, providing vases of cut flowers as well as a vibrant outdoor display. Graham Rice, an expert on annuals, gives a concise account of their history, hybridization, uses and cultivation. From whether to sow in the autumn or spring to chipping the seeds; from growing in beds and borders to growing in containers. He gives his in-depth knowledge in an easy to understand language to ensure gardeners both amateur and veteran benefit from his advice. An A-Z directory of varieties accompanied by the attractive photographs of Judy White gives an insight into the myriad of colours now available - bi-colours, striped, speckled or plain together with a fragrance rating as many, due to over-hybridization, have lost that most enchanting of assets. An informative reference work from an acknowledged expert, this is a valuable addition to any gardener's bookcase and, for connoisseurs of the genus Lathyrus, a must. - Lucy Watson
