ZINNIAS

Few flowers provide a more gorgeous dis- 
play with less care or attention; all they re- 
quire is a sunny spot to cause them to grow 
and bloom vigorously from early summer until 
frost. The seed may be sown in the garden 
any time during April or May and the plants 
thinned or transplanted to stand 8 to 18 inches 
apart, according to variety. The largest speci- 
men blooms are produced on plants that are 
grown on a mellow, moderately rich soil and 
given ample room to develop.
