Zinnia 
ZINNIAS 
Every garden should have a generous bed of these brilliant flowers for cut¬ 
ting. While they do well even if neglected, they are very grateful for occasional 
cultivation, water in dry weather, or a top dressing of bone-meal during their 
growing days. Seed may be sown when danger of frost is passed, and you 
can have the finest flowers in September by sowing seeds in June. The Lilliput 
(button) Zinnia will come into bloom in five weeks after sowing.
