Zinnia Pumila Sunshine Tints CUT No. 2009 
(Bodger) 
aie are among the most popular shades in cut flowers of the moment. 
Whether the flower be gigantic, diminutive or in between size, the pastel is a 
wanted color. Our new Sunshine Tints, in the very popular Pumila or Cut and 
Come Again type of Zinnia, fills the need for pastels in this intermediate size. 
Somewhat richer and more full bodied in color than some other pastels avail- 
able, the Sunshine Tints comprise many luscious 
autumn tints of bronze, golden yellow, apricot and 
rich rose as well as the better known delicate pinks, 
creamy yellows, soft flesh tones and salmons of 
most pastel mixtures. Very free flowering and 
colorful, the blooms are two and a half to three 
inches in diameter, rounded in shape, symmetrical- 
ly formed and carried on stems of good cutting 
length. For best results seed should be sown where 
plants are to grow and produce their flowers, and 
while Zinnias will thrive in even the poorest soil, a 
moderately enriched sandy loam is preferred. 
Flowers will be produced about fifty days after 
seed is sown and will continue in blossom through- 
out the summer weeks.
