Zinnia Is a M
Bold Beauty W
The zinnia of today is a bold
beauty and a striking improve
ment over its ancestors.
Many new forms as well as new
colors and color combinations
have been developed by scientific
. plantsmen. Zinnias like warm
weather and the seed must be
1 sown in warm soil. If the soil is
cold they may decay and never
germinate. If you sow the seeds
of zinnias in the open ground
where the plants are to remain,
you will have early flowers, and ‘
. sturdy plants. |
Sow the seeds about Vi inch
deep. Plants should be evenly \
spaced a foot to 18 inches apart, ;
but may be sown more thickly
and the extra plants moved to
some other location. Firm soil
over the seeds and in dry weather
keep the ground moist until the
plants emerge; this should be
only a few days in warm weather.
When the plants are growing
vigorously they are likely to
bloom best if not watered too
frequently. As the florists’ say
“keep them on the dry side,” but ,
this does not mean they should ;
not be watered thoroughly during
drought periods.
The dahlia-flowered types are
perhaps most popular. The flow
ers of these are of enormous size,
up to 6 inches in diameter. The
petals are slightly cupped and I
the stems are long with attrac
tive foliage.
The California giants are other
tall ones. They are excellent for
planting in back of the dwarf and
miniature zinnias, which grow
into bushy border plants with
hundreds of blossoms.
There is no more satisfactory
flower for garden and for cutting
than the zinnia, and for mass
planting they are unrivaled. They
are easily grown, bloom quickly
from seed, and can be kept free
of nests with an occasional dust

Isn’t this the real problem of Beer
—and almost its only problem?
THERE ARE people, of course, who stead
fastly and sincerely believe beer to be intox
icating, or its use sinful, harmful, or a firdt
step toward use of “hard liquor.”
Just as sincerely we hold that the weight
of the evidence is overwhelmingly against
them...that beer is a mild, wholesome food
beverage...and that “there is nothing more
promising to combat the evil of too much
alcohol than the opportunity of drinking
good beer.”
No.. .it is not in beer itself, we believe, that
its gravest problem lies, but in those condi
tions, undesirable to us all, which sometimes
surround its sale.
How should that problem be handled .. •
by brewers, by retailers, by consumers, and
by the public authorities? On its handling,
we believe, depends the ultimate success or
failure of the art and science of brewing,
with all its manifold contributions to human
pleasure and happiness and to the farm and
industrial welfare of this country.
, * * *
In that belief, a short time ago the Brewers
Foundation was organized ... to align the
brewing industry with forces working for
the public good in this country.
Our underlying motive ... to perpetuate
and promote our industry ... is of course
obvious. But equally obvious, we hope, is
the fact that our interests coincide with the
public interest.
Important progress has been made. Brewer
members of the Foundation already represent
nearly half the production of beer and ale in
the United States; and these members are

Mr. and Mrs. William Lane and
pledged, individually and collectively, to the
Brewers Code, one significant clause of which
is as follows:
“We pledge our support to the duly con
stituted authorities for the elimination of
anti-social conditions wherever they may
surround the sale of beer to the consumer.”
Bling practical men, we promise no mira
cles. We cannot immediately or effectively
“police” the quarter-million points where
beer is sold (nor, to be fair, have we legal
authority in many cases to do so). Nor can
we, immediately, bring about full compliance
with the law among all retailers, nor honest
enforcement by all authorities.
But a beginning has been made...and we
do promise that you will see results from it. ,
* * *
How far we can go, and how soon, depends
very much on ourselves...but partly also
on you.
Public opinion, once aroused, can operate
to bring about honest enforcement of exist-,
ing laws. Restriction of your patronage only
to legal, respectable retail outlets can and
will operate to raise retailing standards.
Public preference for the products of Foun
dation members* will bear witness of your
approval both to members and to cooperat
ing retailers, and will encourage them to
renewed efforts.
* * *
This is, therefore, at once a statement of our
objectives and an appeal for your support,
without which we must fall short of our high
hopes. We urgently invite your full and
sympathetic cooperation.
