The Most Luxuriant of all Annuals for Northern California Summers 
No other flower will make such a dazzling 
display all summer and fall in our warm 
summer temperatures than the Zinnia. All 
communities in our part of the state should 
become widely known for lavish displays 
of brilliant Zinnias in every garden, empty 
lots, or formerly unsightly area. Glorify 
the summer beauty of our section for vis- 
itors by displays of Zinnias. Location: full 
sun—the warmer the better. Culture: sow 
seed direct or transplant in early spring. 
Any soil will grow a good crop if plenty 
of water is provided. Several applications 
of fertilizer during growing season will 
bring superb results. Water only from the 
bottom to prevent mildew in late summer 
and fall. Use: beds of separate colors are 
particularly fine and breath-taking. Rows, 
groupings in mixed borders, or in fore- 
ground of shrubbery or huge patches in 
any open area will prove of complete sat- 
isfaction.
