ZINNIA PUMILA DWARF DOUBLE SPUN GOLD—Bodger 
Spun Gold is one of the delightful, soft pastel shades so much in 
demand at the present time. The flowers, which are medium-sized, 
2 Vi to 3 inches in diameter, are ideal for cut flower use. The soft 
yellow combines beautifully with lavender, blue or pink shades for 
a soft treatment, or with the brighter reds and orange shades for 
contrast. The plants, which are neat in habit, grow 12 to 18 inches 
in height with strong stems of medium length, and are unusually 
free flowering. The common name for this type, Cut and Come 
Again, gives an idea of the free blooming habit. The more flowers 
picked, the more will be produced. The strain is early blooming, 
producing flowers about 45 days after planting.

Colossal or New Giants. Not recommended. "Dahlia Flowered" or 
"Giant Mammoth" types are much preferable. 
LILLIPUT ZINNIAS 
Lilliput or Pompon Class. Have obtained the greatest favor for cut 
flowers—especially the variety "Salmon Gem." They fit in extremely 
well for small vase decoration and cut flower work generally. Flowers 
about size of a large button type Pompon 'Mum. Highly effective 
for cut flower work, especially nice when the stems are lengthened 
under glass or cloth houses.

Scarlet Gem. 
White Gem. 
‘Rosebud. Clear deep rose-pink.

Golden Gem. 
This neat little Pompon type is, we believe, the most valuable one for 
cut flower work. Either cloth or greenhouse protection i3 necessary to 
draw out the stems. Such protection seems to reduce the size of the 
Giants while it increases some that of the Pompons. 
‘Valencia. Attractive burnt orange.

MISCELLANEOUS TYPES 
ZINNIA NEW FANTASY MIXTURE 
AWARD OF MERIT WINNER 
OF 1935 ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS 
Fantasy is the most fascinating new Zinnia type introduced to the 
flower world for many years. The very informal, shaggy appearing 
flowers are graceful and interesting, quite distinct from the stiff, 
formal Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The rounded medium 
sized flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals 
which give a delicate and refined appearance, large enough to sat¬ 
isfy the desire for mass color, yet small enough to lend themselves 
gracefully to flower arrangement. The color range includes the 
brightest shades of reds, yellow and orange, as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and cream. 
Fantasy, Star Dust. Rich deep golden yellow with the same shaggy 
petaled formation in the mixture.

ZINNIA LINEARIS 
The most unusual and interesting of the newer Zinnias is the little 
dwarf variety. Linearis. The flowers, which are single, are a lovely 
shade of golden orange, with a delicate lemon yellow stripe through 
each petal, while the center is dark brown in the young flowers, turn¬ 
ing golden orange as the pollen develops. It is extremely early bloom¬ 
ing, commencing to flower when the plants are about 6 inches tall and 
keeping on right through the season until the late frosts of autumn.
