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 thor- 
oughly 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.
