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 re- 
sults, 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, al- 
though 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 sys- 
tem, 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 feed- 
ing 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 bet- 
ter than huge clumps, so divide the clumps of hardy 
Chrysanthemums each spring, setting small divi- 
sions 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 tablespoon- 
ful or two of bone meal dug into the soil about the 
plants early in the spring will be beneficial. Water- 
ing 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 purple plant lice, but if they 
are sprayed with nicotine extract, they will be kept 
in check and will 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 fre- 
quently in order to lessen the attacks of red spider, 
which is an almost microscopic insect, whose injury 
is evident from leaves turning whitish in appear- 
ance.
