Photo from H. Imai &C Sons, San Fernando, 
Calif., of William Zvolanek Sweet Peas grown 
under partial shade. Note how the cloth is strung 
on two wires, which can be removed entirely if 
desired. A cloth wall about six feet high also 
entirely surrounds the entire planting to protect 
from wind or storm. Heat here often reaches 
100 degrees or more. Photo was taken in May, 
1937 
MR. IMAI WRITES:

Lompoc, Calif. 
DEAR SIRS'. 
1 am enclosing a photograph and negative of a 
row of Mrs. Reddick sweet peas. It was taken at the 
height of bloom, during the middle of May. These vines 
in the photo are approximately 9 feet tall after having 
been lowered 2 feet to facilitate picking. 
Sincerely Yours,
