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 I5 seeds to the foot of row, at a depth of |/ 
to 34 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 !/2 
lb. to the square rod to avoid mildew.
