Brief Cultural Notes 
ZINNIAS: These are warm weather loving plants and should 
never be sown until the soil has thoroughly warmed up and all 
danger of any frost. is past. For best results, especially with the 
smaller flowered, early blooming varieties, we recommend sowing 
the seed where the plants are to flower. The taller growing, large 
flowered sorts can safely be transplanted, although they also will 
make a more robust growth and will produce more flowers if they 
can be sown where the plants are to bloom, and then when the 
seedlings are 3 to 4 inches tall, thinned to the proper distance. 
To induce a thrifty, heavy root system, irrigate your plants rather 
than sprinkling. Dig a little trench alongsde the row and let the 
water run slowly for quite a while so it will seep down deep into 
the ground and make the food in the soil available for the plant 
throughout the mass of feeding roots. Always cultivate after each 
irrigation to conserve moisture. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS: There are three main classes of 
Chrysanthemums: (1) the ordinary Hardy Chrysanthemums which 
bloom late, and whose buds are often frosted in northern regions; 
(2) the Early Flowering Chrysanthemums, a newer strain, which 
usually blooms in September and sometimes earlier; (3) the Florist 
Type of Chrysanthemums which may be grown out of doors in 
summer and brought into the home to perfect its blossoms. How- 
ever, gardeners are coming more and more to grow the-early 
flowered sorts, which can now be had in all colors. Young 
Chrysanthemum Plants bloom better than huge clumps, which 
indicates an important point in their culture. Divide the clumps 
of hardy Chrysanthemums each spring,-setting small divisions in 
newly enriched spots in the garden. As the shoots grow 3 or 4 
inches tall, pinch out the tops; this will cause them to branch 
freely. A tablespoonful or two of bone meal dug into the soil 
about the plants early in the spring will be beneficial. Watering 
the plants each week with manure water will produce a lusty 
growth and increase the size of the flowers. Generally Chrysan- 
themums are troubled with black, brown or purple plant lice, but 
if they are sprayed with nicotine extract, they will be kept in 
check and will not become bad pests if one is regular in the work 
and the spraying is not deferred too long, During the summer 
the plants need plenty of water and it is wise to syringe the leaves 
frequently in order to lessen the attacks of red spider, which is an 
almost microscopic insect, whose injury is evident from leaves 
turning whitish in appearance. 
MORNING GLORIES: Never plant until the soil is thor- 
oughly warm. If it is too cool the seeds will rot instead of ger- 
minating. To aid germination of particularly hard-seeded varie- 
ties, filing a notch at the top of the seed will help considerably. 
Select the driest, sandiest part of the garden and sow where the 
plants are to flower as the Morning Glories resent transplanting. 
Keep on the dry side; heavy watering induces foliage growth at 
the expense of flowers. A poor soil is preferable to a rich one.
