ZINNIAS 



Year in and year out Zinnias remain the most satisfac- 

 tory flower for summer and fall. The many different types, 

 both in size and form of flower and in height of plants, 

 make them adaptable for all gardening purposes. 



Zinnias in their varied shapes, sizes and forms are one 

 of the most satisfactory flowers to grow. Dwarf varieties 

 are fine for beds and borders, while the taller varieties 

 make the finest of cut flowers. Sow out-of-doors as soon 

 as the weather has become settled in the spring. Seed may 

 even be sown as late as July 1st. Be sure to thin out to 

 give the plants plenty of room to develop. 



Zinnias are one of the easiest of all flowers to grow 

 successfully. We have grown the finest possible flowers 

 from seed sown outdoors when the weather has become 

 settled in May. Sow seed thinly and do not cover with 

 more than one-fourth inch of soil; when plants are 2 to 

 3 inches tall, thin out, so they will have plenty of room 

 to develop. Of course, seed may be started indoors in 

 March or April for earlier blooms. 



Cultural Note: While Zinnias are quite hardy and very 

 easy to grow, it must be remembered that they are natives 

 of Mexico and like hot weather and full sunshine. Do not 

 plant too early; when the young plants are subjected to 

 frosts or a period of cold weather, they receive a check 

 which often causes mis-shapen flowers and also extreme 

 variations in color.
