Sensational 
CULTURE — A _ sunny location, 
lenty of moisture and ample space 
or proper development are the 
simple requirements of the Zinnia. 
Failure to grow perfect flowers is 
usually due to overcrowding. Tall 
varieties should be thinned to 
stand 2 feet apart, 
and smaller sorts 12 
to 14 inches 
apart. Plants 
properly 
spaced pro- 
duce flowers 
that are large 
and true 
tions of liquid 
manure will 
improve the 
size of the 
blooms as Zin- 
nias are heavy 
feeders and soon 
exhaust the soil.
