Zinnias 
There is no other plant that does so well 
under any and all conditions and furnishes 
so many gorgeous doners in such an array of 
brilliant colors. You can pick literally bush¬ 
els of them from a small bed and still have as 
many left in the garden. Neither dry weath¬ 
er nor insects barm them after once estab¬ 
lished. 
CULTURE —Zinnias can be planted in the gar¬ 
den where they are to grow but for early bloom 
they should be started inside in boxes earlier than 
they could be put outdoors. One or two trans¬ 
plantings is beneficial to them for it induces more 
root growth and produces a stronger plant. Zin¬ 
nias will do well in nearly any soil but too rich a 
soil will cause more plant growth and fewer blooms. 
If you wish especially large blooms from 
your Dahlia flowered Zinnias or others snip 
off all but two or three of the side branches and 
buds and those left will attain a much larger size.
