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

water frequently. Dust with finely ground sulphur when the plants 
are beginning to bud; at-the rate of one-half pound to the square 10d
