HOW TO GROW ZINNIAS 
Zinnias grow easily and rapidly from seed. 
Sow in flats from spring to summer for suc- 
cession of bloom. Keep them growing rapidly 
and plant them out 12”-18” apart, depending 
on the type. 
Plant out zinnias only after danger of 
frosts is past. Soil that has been manured for 
a previous crop will not have to be remanured 
for zinnias. Drainage is important.. Shade 
young plants after planting them out, and 
water dailv until well established. 
While zinnias do not. require as generous 
treatment as many flowers, they respond well 
to one or two feedings up to the time of bud- 
ding. A tablespoon of balanced commercial 
fertilizer to a plant, carefully worked in and 
followed by watering, is sufficient. 
Mildew attacks zinnias, especially in the 
fall, when days are warm and nights cool. As 
in the case of rust, it is somewhat controlled 
by watering from below in the early or middle 
part of the day. Dust affected plants with 
Bordeaux mixture or sulphur.
