HOW TO GROW ZINNIAS 
Soil preparation as in A page 93 
Do not plant zinnia seed until all danger from frost is past. Select a 
location not nearer trees than the height of the trees, as zinnias will not do 
well in the shade. Sow 15 seeds to the foot of row, at a depth of vp to % 
inch, Keep the soil moist and the crust broken until the plants are up. Thin 
so the plants are 12 to 15 inches apart in the row for the giant types, and 
8 to 10 inches apart for the Lilliput. Rows should be 3 feet apart for giants 
and 24 inches apart for the small varieties. Zinnias do best on very rich 
soil. Cultivate and water frequently. Dust with finely ground sulphur when 
the plants are beginning to bud, at the rate of 1 Ib. to the square rod to 
avoid mildew.
