In 1911, in the Scottish Border village of Sprouston, the young parish minister wrote to the Daily Mail for entry forms for its sweet pea competition.The top prize was a staggering £1000 and organisers predicted that as many as 15,000 would enter. He could not foretell that the paper's estimate of the number of competitors would be more than doubled, or that a fortnight before the deadline a nation-wide drought would threaten the very existence of the sweet peas he was so painstakingly cultivating. This touching - and beautifully illustrated - tale is based on a true story.

Excerpt from A Book About Sweet Peas, 1909: A Descriptive and Practical Treatise on the Most Charming of All Annual Flowers Giving History, Culture, Uses and Varieties I have made an earnest attempt in this book to show how much of interest, charm and pleasure lie in the Sweet Pea, while giving ample practical information as to its culture. We must not limit our thoughts of great garden flowers to a calculation of how many barrow-loads of manure are required to win a certain silver cup with them. We must take into account the joy which their beauty and perfume bring into our lives, and the uplifting impulses which arise out of a conception of the creative forces which lie enfolded within their petals. In doing this we need not forget the spade and manure. No flower can influence human lives more strongly than the little Sweet Pea. Suitable for culture in the smallest as in the largest of gardens, beautiful alike in form and colour, possessing a delicious odour, it further enchains our interest by the glimpses which Mendelian experiments with it have given us into the half revealed mysteries of the laws which govern the creation of new plants. I hope that the simple verses with which the chapters are introduced will not so far offend purists in prosody as to neutralise the pleasure that other parts of the book may possibly give them.
