* Zinnia 

Zinnias 
Zinnias are one of the most desirable 
and lovely flowers in the garden. The 
is an old time garden flower 
and the new and improved types of 
Zinnias are deserving of more space 
and attention. Zinnias are not subject 
to any of the common diseases or in- 
sect pests which so. often infest other 
flowers in the garden. They grow well 
in partial shade but like most flowers 
do best in a-sunny location. The seed 
may be planted in the garden from 
April 15th to June 1st, and when the 
plants are two or three inches high 
they should be thinned out to twelve 
or fifteen inches apart. If earlier 
blooms are wanted the seed may be 
started indoors and transplanted to the 
open garden from May 15th to June 
ist. Plants flower from early summer 
until frost.
