ZINNIAS 
The value of zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be stressed too highly. They are probably the easiest 
to grow and their long blooming season, together with a wide range of colors and flower forms make them extremely 
popular. They last for days when cut. Plant in full sun as they do not do well in shade. Start in the house April 
20th, or in the garden after danger of frost. 

Not only must we test new varieties of flower on our farms but 
we must also visit other trial grounds to compare varieties under 
various growing conditions. The trial grounds above are at 
Pennsylvania State College.
