SWEET PEAS IN CALIFORNIA. 



"In all California this year there are 

 not over 1,700 acres of sweet peas for 

 seed, and of these from 1,000 to 1,200 

 are in the vicinity of Lompoc. " 



The speaker was A. C. Zvolanek, the 

 originator of the winter-flowering sweet 

 pea, whose original work was done at 

 Bound Brook, N. J., but who a few 

 years ago transferred his headquarters 

 to Lompoc. Mr. Zvolanek was in Chi- 

 cago last week on his way to the Na- 

 tional Flower Show. He states that 

 he now does practically no business 

 with the seed trade, marketing his 

 stock direct to florists, of whom he has 

 about 4,000 customers, largely acquired 

 as the result of advertising in The 

 Beview. 



"When I left Lompoc March 20," 

 said Mr. Zvolanek, "the sweet peas 

 were considerably behind. A good 

 many pieces had to be plowed under 

 V y^nd replanted after the big freeze; it 

 hit places that have not suffered from 

 frost in twenty years. Precipitation 

 also is much below the seasonal aver- 

 age, but most growers, as a result of 

 last year's dry season, have made more 

 or less provision for irrigation; I have 

 sunk four artesian wells on my place, 

 using 6-inch to 10-inch pipe and going 

 down from eighty to 150 feet. In addi- 

 tion I can pump from seven other 

 wells. * ' 



Speaking of the decadence of the 

 sweet pea seed industry in the San 

 Juan valley, Mr. Zvolanek said: "It's 

 the aphis. The growers are discour- 

 aged; they have found no way to com- 

 bat it; they are going to other places 

 in the hope of getting a crop and all 

 seem to have chosen the district around 

 Lompoc. Of course we have aphis at 

 Lompoc, too, and the result is by no 

 means certain. I have spread my own 

 crops over quite a wide section, a ra-
