NOTES ON ZINNIA CULTURE 
For Cutting: Some protection by cloth or a green- 
house will produce long-stemmed, large-flowered Zinnias 
which make excellent cut-flower material. Either the 
Dahlia-Flowered or the Lilliputs are O. K. for this. An 
outdoor sowing as late as July 1 in our latitude will 
produce a fine crop of cut Zinnias outdoors before frost. 
For Bedding: Always popular for their ease of cul- 
ture and fine, vivid colors, Zinnias should account for a 
substantial part of your bedding plant sales. 
Don't neglect the novelty value of the small-flowered 
Lilliput type, the immense size of the Giant Mammoths, 
the curled petals of the Fantasy type. 
Warning: Zinnias are native to warm temperatures 
. ° ee mY | . ° 
and need 65° minimum—better, 70°—to germinate satis- 
factorily. 
Be ready to offer your customers some of the newer Zinnia varieties. 47
