ZINNIAS 
The Zinnia is possibly more at home in the warmer sections ot 
California than any other flower It is sun-loving, very easy to grow 
and a favorite in thousands of gardens. We wish to stress the 
fact that our Zinnias are absolutely the best strains in existence. 
The Zinnia is strictly a hot weather plant and should not be 
planted until March. Plantings may be continued throughout the 
summer. 
CULTURE—Plant after all danger of frost is over. The seed 
should be planted about one-half inch deep and the seed bed 
covered with a mulch of our horticultural peat moss or grass to 
conserve the top moisture. Plant in rich soil in rows at least three 
feet apart and thin out plants so they are about 12 inches apart. 
Never plant Zinnias in the shade as they delight in the full sun-
