ZINNIA 
Zinnias are heat-loving plants and should never be 
sown until the soil is thoroughly warm and all danger 
of frost has passed. For early blooms we recommend 
sowing the seed where the plants are to remain and then 
thinning. While they do well under unfavorable con- 
ditions, actually they are heavy feeders and for perfect 
flowers must have full sun, rich soil, and a plentiful 
supply of water.
