easy to grow ZINNIAS for lots of color 
Probably no flower has such an assortment of color ranges, sizes and types, and no bedding plant 
is more effective for brilliant show than are the Zinnias. From the little Pompon types to the 
giant Dahlia type, they offer a profusion of bloom from early summer until heavy frost. Sow the 
seed as soon as the ground is warm, in full sun. Almost any kind of soil will do, although well 
worked ground will produce the best flowers. Feed liberally sors the summer. Do not wet foliage 
when watering, to prevent mildew.
