About this deal

Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. By the Eighteenth Century several different colours were available and its propensity to mutate has given rise to a myriad of colours and forms, all characterised by its distinctive perfume. The Sweet Pea’s botanical name is Lathyrus odoratus and it is an annual plant, growing from seed, flowering and setting seed again within twelve months before dying off.

Sweetpea hits all the right buttons. A dark, twisted read about a female serial killer with dollops of humour, sarcasm and a lightweight approach…keeping you gripped and on the hook, both smiling and squirming.” - Maxim Jakubowski, LovereadingBook 08 contains details of a cross they were clearly looking for: a 3:1:1:3 Mendelian segregation. From this point on the scoring and classification of progeny becomes much more detailed and systematic, and tables of classified progeny begin to appear. Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret. That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon's reach, but you can never keep a good serial killer down. Two of the key books provide summaries of sweet pea crosses - MS Add.10161/1/5/16for 1904-1909 and 1914and MS Add.10161/1/5/17for 1908-1939. The latter is labelled ‘ Lathyrus ledger’, signed inside by R.C. Punnett, Whittinghame Lodge. It is important because it contains summary records of the sweet pea crosses carried out from 1908 through, in some cases, to 1931, with additional notes for 1936-1939. These summaries are cross referenced to the main series of sweet pea notebooks. Inside the cover of this ledger is a list of letter codesreferring to phenotypic characters, e.g. A1 - purple/red (flowers), A2 - long/round (pollen), A3 - erect/hooded (flower shape). Many of the crosses in the notebooks are then identified only by these codes e.g. A1 x D2. 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).

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. From Book 06 II onward, many of the notebooks contain maps of the plots where the plants were set out during the summer. The Popeye and Friends Knitting Book: 18 original Designs Featuring Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Brutus, Sweet Pea, Betty Boop, Hagar, Phantom and Ming This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American Psycho” - RedThe 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. Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder… Readers are LOVING Sweetpea You MUST read this book especially if you like your (anti) heroes dirty-mouthed, deadly and dark, dark dark.
