Zinnias 
Zinnias are a hardy annual; one of 
the most desirable and lovely flowers 
in the garden. The Zinnia is an old 
time garden flower and the new and

are deserving of more space and atten¬ 
tion. Zinnias are not subject to any 
of the common diseases or insect pests 
which so often destroy other flowers 
in the garden. They grow well in par¬ 
tial shade but like most flowers do best 
in a sunny location. The seed may 
be planted in the garden from April 
15th to June 1st, and when the plants 
are two or three inches high they 
should be thinned out to twelve or fif¬ 
teen inches apart. If earlier blooms 
are wanted the seed may be started 
indoors and transplanted to the open 
garden from May 15th to June 1st. 
Plants flower from early summer until
