Zinnia (Youth and Old Age) 
There are but a few flowers as easy to raise as Zinnias and there are no flowers that will make such a wonderful 
display of color for as little expense and effort. Their big bright-colored blooms are the most showy of all flowers, 
remaining in bloom for two months. 
If sown in the open ground in April, thin out as soon as the plants are well up, leaving at least 18 inches each way, 
as they are robust growers, and require a large amount of space to attain maximum size.
