ZINNIA. §zin'-ni-a. 
Our summer specialty. Pinks, reds, yellows, anil 
purples, in vivid shades, unexcelled for summer 
bedding and cut-flowers. Sow March to July. 
Germination period 5 to 10 days. 
Cultural Note: Sow Zinnia seed where the 
plants are to bloom if this is at all possible; 
otherwise transplant when the seedlings are 
small. When watering, rather than use the 
sprinkler, irrigate by the trench method and 
let the water run slowly for several hours until 
it has soaked down thoroughly into the ground 
through and beyond the roots. You will then 
have maximum results, yet need to water the 
plants only once every two weeks if the top 
soil is properly cultivated a day or so after 
each irrigation.
