Comparative Zinnia Flower Types. 
Zinnias 
Zinnias are one of the most desirable 
and lovely flowers in the garden. They 
grow well in partial shade but like 
most flowers do best in a sunny loca¬ 
tion. The seed may be planted in the 
garden from May 1st to June 1st, and 
when the plants are 2 or 3 inches high 
they should be thinned out to 12 or 15 
inches apart. If earlier blooms are 
wanted the seed may be started in¬ 
doors and transplanted to the open 
garden from May 15th to June 1st. 
Flower from early summer until frost.
