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 cov¬ 
ered 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 planted. If this plan of planting early is followed, and 
Sweet Peas are kept mulched or else watered abundantly, 
they will generally give a fine crop of blooms. 
Early 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.
