ZINNIA BEAUTY FOR SOUTHERN GARDENS 
Zinnias can be planted all during the spring and summer. Sow seed a quarter-inch deep, no more, thinning out 
the young plants from 12 to 14 inches apart. Dwarf types may be allowed to remain closer. To have a succession of 
flowers, it is a good idea to make several sowings during the spring and summer. 
Zinnias are old friends of the Southern gardener because of their wide range of beautiful colors. No flower will ever 
replace Zinnias as the “most popular annual” in the South. Zinnias are very easy to grow, and are profuse bloomers. 
Let the children plant a few. Your desire for large or small blooms, soft, delicate, or bright, dazzling shades will be 
fulfilled in Zinnias.
