TO GROW EXTRA LARGE ZINNIAS 
Thin so the plants are twelve to fifteen inches apart in the row and place 
the rows three feet apart for the giant types and two feet apart for the 
small varieties. Plant the seed one-half inch deep, twenty to twenty-five 
seeds to the foot of row. 
Do not plant until all danger from frost is past and do not plant nearer 
any trees than the height of the tree. Never plant where they will be 
shaded. They do the best on very rich soil. Cultivate and water frequently. 
Dust the ground with finely ground sulphur when the plants are beginning 
to bud at the rate of one-half pound to the square rod to avoid mildew.
