The value of Zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be 
stressed too highly. Their ease of culture, long blooming sea¬ 
son, together with their wide range of color and varied flower 
forms, make them one of the most popular of all annual flow¬ 
ers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. They are one 
of our leading specialties. 
Zinnias are heavy feeders, and while they will grow in poor 
soil and under favorable conditions, they must have rich, well- 
fertilized soil and be watered freely during periods of dry 
weather if the finest flowers are wanted. Plant in full sun; 
they will not do well in the shade or near trees. Zinnias are 
hot weather flowers coming into their full beauty in mid¬ 
summer and continuing until fall. Flowers last for days when 
cut; different size flowers and colors for every purpose. After 
the soil has become thoroughly warm, sow seed in the open 
ground where plants are to bloom. Thin out large flowered 
varieties to stand 18 inches apart, smaller flowered types, 8 
inches. Zinnias will bloom in about two months. The longest 
planting season of any annual from February 20 to July 20. 
All of the different classes of Zinnias are easy to grow.
