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 alongside 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: 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, so 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 Chrysanthemums are troubled with black, 
brown or purp'e plant lice, but if they are sprayed with nicotine 
extract, they will be kept in check and wil! 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.
