Sweet Peas 
Sweet Peas are among the seeds to be sown very early in the 
spring. They should go into the ground as soon as the soil can 
be worked, and should be planted six inches deep, being covered 
at first with only two inches of soil, the trench being filled as 
the plants grow. One ounce sows 35 to 40 feet in a row. It is 
best to soak the seeds for several hours before they are plant¬ 
ed. If this plan of planting early is followed, and if the Sweet 
Peas are kept mulched with peat moss or with lawn clippings 
or else watered abundantly, they will generally give a fine crop 
of blooms. 
Eorly Flowering Spencer Varieties 
While these are especially adapted for forcing under glass 
for winter and early spring blooming, they are also valuable 
for outdoor culture, coming into bloom five or six weeks earli¬ 
er than the regular Spencer type, and if the flowers are kept 
cut, they will continue to bloom for a long time.
