Fantasy Zinnias 

~ a 
ZINNIAS (a) Grp. f 
The Zinnia is possibly more at home in the warmer 
sections of California than any other flower. It is sun- 
loving, very easy to grow and a favorite in thousands 
of gardens. We wish to stress the fact that our Z'nnias 
are absolutely the best strains in existence. The Zinnia 
is strictly a hot weather plant and should not be 
planted until March. Plantings may be continued 
throughout the summer. 
The seed should be planted about one-half inch deep 
and the seed bed covered with a mulch of our horti- 
cultural peat moss or grass to conserve the top mois- 
ture. Plant in rich soil in rows at least three feet apart 
and thin out plants so they are about 12 inches apart. 
Never plant Zinnias in the shade as they delight in 
the full sunshine. Keep the rows free and clean from 
Bermuda grass and weeds and cultivate and irrigate 
often. To avoid mildew dust the ground around the 
plants with dusting sulphur as soon as the buds ap- 
pear. If you follow these instructions we know your 
efforts will be rewarded.
