SWEET PEAS 
Seed should be sown very early in the 
spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. 
It should be planted 6 inches deep and cov- 
ered at first with only 2 inches of soil, the 
trench being filled as the plants grow. One 
ounce sows 35 to 40 feet in a row. It 1s 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 watered abundantly, they will 
generally give a fine crop of blooms.
