Schizanthus 
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 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 earlier than the regular Spencer type, and if the flowers 
are kept cut, they will continue to bloom for a long time.
