ZINNIAS (a) 
There are no flowers, to our knowledge, which are more adaptable than 
Zinnias. Easily grown from seed sown outdoors they bloom readily and with gay 
abandon from early summer until a truly hard frost puts them away for the 
season. Probably no other flower has such an assortment of color ranges, sizes 
and types. No other flower, either, can rival it for brilliant show. Sow the 
seed mipediately after danger from frost has passed and always in full sun, if 
possible, altho they will sometimes do well in semi-shaded positions. Almost any 
kind of soil will do but really well-worked soil, previously fed a modest amount 
of Vigoro, the complete plant food, will turn out zinnias of amazing propor- 
tions and dazzling color. Thin seedlings 10-12 inches apart. Feed Vigoro again 
(one tablespoonful to each plant) when 12 inches high. Work fertilizer in care- 
fully and follow with liberal watering. Mildew attacks zinnias, especially in the 
fall, when days are warm and nights are cool. This may be somewhat controlled 
by watering from below in early or middle part of the day. Dust affected plants 
with Staffel’s Copper Rose Dust or Sulphur.
