Sunnyslope Presents the Following Introductions for 1931
ANNE
ANNE. (S 49-2). Purest white spidery flower in the larger size tabulated petal class. In full bloom by Octo- ber 1. As if to herald the prelude of our famous Annual Chrysanthemum Show, this new flower stood out majes- tically on the opening day last fall. Being extremely full centered, it appeared to develop layer upon layer of petals almost without end. The ultimate product was a magnificently large and beautiful flower whose grace- fulness is beyond description. Height about 3 feet. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration is above.)
AUTUMN PARADE. (S 49-9). Most fascinating flower composed of two distinct forms of petals. Approximately one-half of the flower, which is the outer part, consists of the conventional long, tabulated petals with fishhooks while the remaining central part is completed with spoon petals of variable sizes, some of which appear almost feathery in their formation. Color is deep bronze through- out the flower with spoon openings of bright red. Height about 4 feet. Normal date of maturity about October 15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Color illustration page 4.)
CENTENNIAL. (S 49-18). A true spidery type of golden bronze. Has slender, long tabulated petals with spoon openings tipped with fishhooks. Has superb lasting quality resulting from exceedingly full centered char- acter of this flower. Height, 4 feet. October 22. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Color illustration page 5.)
DELIGHT. (49-5). This most intriguing variety of thin threadlike petalled spidery flower is creamy white with pointed tips of green. Flower that is unique in ap- pearance and outstanding in character—one that will be remembered long after the blooming season is over. Height, medium. In full bloom October 15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration below.)
EL MONTE. A new chrysanthemum of dwarf nature which is ideal for pot culture. Selection of this name was made by the El] Monte Womens’ Club members dur- ing their visit to our Gardens. The color is a beautiful terra-cotta red bordering to a rich golden bronze. Pro- duces 8 to 12 six-inch diameter semi-incurved blooms when disbudded. November 10. Price: 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen.
LYRIC. (S-49-8). “A deep orchid pink Rayonante’” is the best description of this beautiful flower. The medium size cord-like petals extend outward from a full center.
Has glossy dark green foliage. Height medium. October 15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration
page 4.)
RONDO. (49-2). A snow white decorative flower. Petals are flat and feathery. Should be disbudded in a bush but not as large as mums. Height medium. In full bloom by October 15. Price: 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen. (See illustration page 4.)
DELIGHT

AUTUMN PARADE
SUNNYSLOPE SPLENDOR. (49-1). It is generally theorized that the ratio of obtaining outstanding va- rieties from chrysanthemum seeds is 6 to every 10,000 and we would unhesitatingly place this variety at the top of the selected six. It is a glistening white full cen- tered flower with a light overcast of green throughout but deeper at the center. Composed of spoon petals cupped slightly inward at the tip. Perfectly formed, we have not noticed a single deformed flower in our trial ground where 4 to 6 blooms were grown to a plant, all measuring eight inches in diameter. We believe this va- riety will rule supreme both as exhibition and as com-

SUNNYSLOPE SPLENDOR
mercial cut flowers for many years to come in this class. Fully matured by October 10-15. Height 5 feet. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration above.)
YELLOW FRILL. (49-3). Semi-double spidery flower in clear yellow. Petals are long and tightly curled at the tip. The large button appearing at maturity only accen- tuates the beauty of this flower all the more. Height tall. October 15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustra- tion page 5.)

Spidery (Fuji Mum) Threadlike Varieties
Varieties listed in this group, which are sometimes referred to as “Fuji” Mums by the commercial grow- ers, have quilled petals of varying sizes, some of which are long and cord-like, while a great majority have opening of spoon shape at the tip, either fishhooked or plain. These petals either spring out horizontally or droop. Many of these flowers may be eccentric in form, but they are all very graceful. Descriptions were taken from flowers which were disbudded to one bloom per stem with four to six flowers to a plant. The
terminal buds were preferred.

Large Flowering Commercial Varieties
In answer to many queries sent in each year requesting differentiation of Commercial and Exhibition large flowering varieties, we admit that there is only a slight difference between the two types. Many varieties in the commercial listing are Exhibition flowers and many Exhibition varieties are also good Commercial flowers. The reason for this segregation is that the Commercial Large Flowering varieties must have these specific qualifications: (a) good substance—a flower that will pack well and keep well after being cut; (b) stiff stem—a stem that will support the flower erect when arranged; (¢) good foliage—foliage that is healthy and clean; (d) proven satisfactory by a period of actual marketing.

INDEX — Chrysanthemums
COLOR VARIATION: All color descriptions given in this catalog are somewhat arbitrary. They are observa- tions made here in San Gabriel, California, when the plants were grown under normal conditions and taken during their best period. Undoubtedly, the colors given would be more intense when cultivated in the cooler sections of the country, which is evident when an iden- tical variety is grown in the cool coastal areas only 30 miles away from San Gabriel, while the same variety may become lighter in color when raised in the desert areas of California, Arizona, and parts of Texas, where late summer weather prevails during the Chrysanthe- mum season. Complete absence of the bronze color from the variety, ‘Mamoru,’ and the green color from “Nightingale” is evidence of color bleaching when sub- jected to prolonged solar heat during the blooming period.
HEIGHT AND THE BLOOMING DATES: The height and the blooming dates are also based on observations made at our Gardens in San Gabriel, where a uniform cultural pattern is followed for a number of years. Planting is done between May 15 and June 30 or later in order of blooming period. The plants are all topped when they are about 6 inches high and, if necessary, topped twice. The terminal buds are retained for all early varieties, and mostly any bud being saved after September 1. All this is mentioned because the time of planting largely governs the height of the plant and the selection of buds has direct bearing on the blooming date. Height between 2 to 4 feet tall if listed as me- dium; everything above is tall, and below is short.
CHANGES CAUSED BY DISBUDDING: Frequently during our Show we are asked, particularly by our new customers, why their flowers are not true to our catalog description or similar to our garden specimen plant. In most instances, the discrepancy is due to non-disbudding. Only by disbudding are we able to grow large size flowers as described in our catalog. Also, the round, perfectly spherical pompons or the prominent cushions centers of the anemone flowered varieties will not be present when grown in sprays.

Cascade Standard Varieties
The Cascade varieties are all of exceptional beauty and exquisite daintiness. While chosen primarily for the ease with which they may be trained to hang or “cas- cade” downward, there are numerous ways in which they may be made to yield equally gratifying results with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
Planted in the garden and topped a number of times in the usual manner, these little-heralded horticultural phenomena will develop a rugged bushiness of free flowering growth that for sheer beauty may, perchance, outrival the much vaunted glory of the larger and more pretentious of their brethren.
Grown in pots and without special training, they may be taken care of in the open until such time as it is desirable to transfer them indoors, where their presence may lend a bit of sunshine to what otherwise might be a colorless interior. Let the Fall season of dark shadows and crispness of air be brightened and warmed by the comforting cheer irradiating from one or more well- groomed plants of this type strategically placed on win- down ledge, bench or table.

Suggestions for Culture of Cascades
PREPARATION OF SOIL. The potting soil is pre- pared by mixing 2 parts by volume of fibrous loam of good structure, 2 parts well decayed leaf mold, and 1 part of manure. In addition, a 5-inch potfull of bonemeal or superphosphate may be incorporated to every 3 bushels of mixture. This soil mixture may be prepared in large quantities and stored in shelter for later use.
FERTILIZER. Twice a month, application of com- mercial fertilizer (liquid fertilizer preferred) should be made during the most active growing months for cas- cades commencing from mid-May up to the formation of buds. When dry commercial complete fertilizers are used, it is cautioned not to over-feed a plant, always remem- bering that light applications frequently made are far better than over-dosing it at any time.
RE-POTTING. Plants may be put into 6-inch pots when bought from us. Two or three shiftings into larger pots are required during the season and these shifts should be made before plants form their first root net- work around the inside of their containers. Final re- potting may be made about the middle of July or there- eee and size of pots used depends on the size of Cas- cades.
TYING AND PINCHING. (See drawings and photos on page 30.) When the plant grows to about 12 inches tall (Drawing No. 1), it is bent from about the middle and its end tied to a fairly long No. 12 size wire and is bent at an angle of 45 degrees (as in Fig. 2). The sup- porting wire should point north and the leader must be tied to it with raffia (see Figs. 2 and 3) at least once a week. All laterals and sub-laterals should be pinched at every second or third leaf joints as in Fig. 2, and this operation should be repeated continuously until around September 15. As the plant increases in width, an addi- tional support is necessary to prevent toppling over on one side (see Fig. 4). The main leader is lowered grad- ually so that it will be in horizontal position around September 15, as in Fig. B. When buds begin to form, the main stem starts bending vertically from its hori- zontal position, with the surface of the plant facing south, as in picture No. 5.
When buds begin to show color, the pot is placed on a high position so that the sprays will not touch the ground and bent to its final vertical position (as in Fig. C. Also see illustration of “Jane Harte’).

Cultural Suggestions — Commercial and Exhibition Types
SOIL PREPARATION. Chrysanthemum beds should be prepared early by spading into the ground a liberal amount of decayed manure. The ground should be spaded to a depth of 12 to 15 inches. Peat is used if ground is either too sandy or too heavy.
FERTILIZING. About three applications of complete fertilizers, such as “Gaviota,” ‘“Vigoro,” etc., should be made at two to four pounds per 100 square feet. Feeding should be avoided during periods of extreme heat or when soil is too dry. The soil is watered before the appli- cation if necessary. The last application is made when buds are large enough to make the final selection (Figure 2 below).
STOPPING. When the plant is established in a garden and has developed two or three pairs of matured leaves, the center or the main growth is nipped off. From then on, the plant should be restricted to form about three or four shoots in order to obtain large blooms. For a late blooming variety, the main growths of these new shoots may be nipped off again around July 15 in order to regu- late the height.
For large pompons and anemones, six to eight stems are allowed to grow to a plant. Other cultures for these are similar with those of large flowering varieties.
DISBUDDING. (See drawings below.) Immediately after new shoots of your selection begin to send out new laterals, they should be removed very close at the base (see lowest lateral of Figure 1) at regular intervals of about once a week. This procedure should be adhered to religiously in order to obtain successful results.
SELECTION OF BUDS. The first bud produced by the plant is called the “Crown bud” and is distinguished by being surrounded with leaves. The “Terminal bud” appears later in clusters surrounded with flower buds.
The procedure of “taking buds” depends very largely on the variety, and no fast rule can be given, but we recommend retention of terminal buds for majority of early flowering Commercial and Exhibition types, par- ticularly here in Southern California. The safest rule, we find, is not to save buds formed before August 20 in our district. Retention of early formed “Crown buds” often results with large percentage of crippled flowers, especially when a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer re- mains unconsumed by the plant. Furthermore, since the hottest period of the year usually comes during the month of September and early October, the hazards of burnt petals and fading of colors are too frequently ex- perienced when early crown buds are retained in our district.
The final selection of a bud should not be made too hastily nor when it is very small (see Figure 1). It is also advisable to allow an alternate bud (see Figure 2) to re- main until one is certain of all defects when final selec- tion is made (Figure 3).
CONTROL MEASURES FOR INSECTS AND DISEASES. INSECTS.
1. Leaf tyer. A brown moth emerges at night and lays white eggs which hatch into white cater- pillars, but later change into a green color. Con- trol: DDT.
2. Aphids, leaf miner, and red spider. Controlled with sprays such as “Vapotone,” “Parathion,” etc.
3. Thrips. Control: DDT.
4. Mealy bugs. Control: White oil emulsion sprays.
5. Tarnished plant bug. A yellowish brown bug with long probosci used to puncture young shoots. Con- trol: Handpicking or DDT.
6. Grasshoppers. Control: Dusting with arsenical compounds.
7. Cutworms. Control: DDT.
8. Slugs, snails, sowbugs and milipeds. Control: Baits.
DISEASES.
1. Rust. Indicated by blisters and exposes dark brown powder—a mass of spores. Infested leaves should be removed and burned. Control: Fermate.
2. Mildew. It has white powdery appearance. Con- trol: Sulphur dust or sprays.
STAKING. Individual stem should be supported with
stake or by other means to hold the blooms upright.
A (Ve
Culture for Bush or Garden Varieties
Under this heading come small Pompons, small Ane- mones, Singles and Hardy varieties. These varieties are most effective in the garden when grown low with as much growth as possible. This effect is easily obtained
by pinching off centers of all laterals three or four times up to Ist or 10th of August. This method will prevent plants from toppling too freely.

Large Flowering Exhibition Varieties
Since size is the prime factor in this classi- fication, varieties listed in this group have the largest blooms. Many varieties will grow taller than the regular commercial varieties requiring much heavier staking. They also require wider spacing when planied than other varieties for proper areation and adequate nutrient require- ment.

Giant Flower Carnation Field -Grown ... Hardy Rugged Plants
Cultural Directions for Carnations Easy to Grow if These Simple Rules Are Followed
PREPARATION OF SOIL. The Carnation will tol- erate wide range of soil condition and acidity, but it must have good drainage. The PH if the soil is best between 6.0 and 7.0. The plant requires plenty of or- ganic matter, so liberal amounts of well rotted manure are spaded into the soil. In addition to this, about 5 lbs. of either bonemeal or superphosphate is required per 100 square feet of ground. If an extreme acid condition is encountered, a light sprinkling of agricultural lime or wood ashes would be beneficial.
TREATMENT OF PURCHASED PLANTS. Our plants come in “Vita-bands”’ as in the illustration. When they are received, the bands are removed and set out with the soil around the roots intact. Carnations like full sunlight and young plants should be spaced about 15 inches apart. They should be watered thoroughly after planting, but no further watering is required until the surface shows signs of drying.
STOPPING. Plants are first topped when they are three or four inches high. The object of this topping is to encourage young plants to become bushy around the base. The best method is to pull out the center with the right hand while gripping the plant firmly with the left. More stems will arise by this procedure than when the top is merely broken off. Centers of new growths are further topped occasionally until a bushy plant is assured.
STAKING. Almost simultaneously with the last top- ping, the plants should be provided with some sort of support. Individual wire loop supports are most com- monly used.
DISBUDDING. When buds become sufficiently large, all side buds are removed, thus leaving a single bud to a stem.
WATERING. Very wet or very dry soil conditons are both detrimental to support a vigorous, healthy growth of Carnations. Although in Winter they will stand being kept fairly dry much better than on the wet side.
FEEDING. Since the Carnation is an ever-blooming flower, feeding is a year around procedure after its final
i
topping. Nitrogen stimulates stem and leaf growth; phos- phoric acid and potash build up sturdy, firm growth of plants with large flowers, good substance, and good color. For this reason, application of complete fertilizers is rec- ommended at the rate of between 2 and 4 pounds per 100 square feet at every two months intervals.
DISEASE CONTROL. 1. Rust. Easily controlled with Fermate, Bordeaux mixture, or Botano dust.
2. Septoria leafspot causes purple blotches on the leaves. Same control as for rust.
3. Yellows and Mosaics are virus diseases. Since aphids spread viruses, they should be controlled.
INSECT CONTROL. 1. Aphids and Red Spider. Controlled with sprays such as “Vapotone,” etc. 2. Thrips. Causes white spots on flowers and may cause tips of shoots to stick together. Controlled with DDT dust or sprays.
Propagation of New Plants
In order to grow Carnations successfully, a person must start propagating new plants from cuttings some time or another. Best cuttings are produced about mid- way on a flowering stem, as indicated (A and B) in the illustration. The length of the cutting should be about three to four inches long. The growth (C) is allowed to grow into a flowering stem.
The procedure of taking slips or cuttings is rather unique in Carnations. The ones shown in the illustration are called “heel” cuttings because the shoots are severed by the “heel” or node of a main stem. The cutting, and leaf surround it, are held firmly and severed by outward- downward pull (see first part in the illustration).
TRIMMING OF FOLIAGE. According to pathologists, the plant food is manufactured in the leaves and trim- ming reduces the area in which food is manufactured. Also, essential plant elements must be used to heal any wound. Furthermore, all wounds will become a source of infection; therefore, only leaves of the cuttings com- ing in contact with the rooting media are removed.
ROOTING AIDS. Use Rootone or Hormodin No. 1 ac- cording to directions. Do not allow cuttings to become wilted. Submerging in water is one way of refreshing wilted cuttings.
ROOTING MEDIA. Use either clean medium coarse sand or “Vermiculite.” The latter is better.
CARE OF CUTTINGS. Take an ordinary plant flat, fill it with “Vermiculite,” and level it off. Then soak it with water thoroughly and pound the surface firmly with a 2x3 piece of board. Make a straight groove about one inch deep with a small mason’s trowel or flat blade of some sort. Then place the cuttings about one-half inch apart. When a row is completed, tap the base of the cuttings firmly again with the board. Then another groove is made about three inches away. Thus, an ordi- nary flat holds about 200 cuttings. They are thoroughly watered overhead when finished and then shaded for a while from direct sunlight, but not too heavily. Remem- ber always that light is necessary for normal function of a plant. Heavy draft is also detrimental. It dries off the foliage too much.
It normally takes about four weeks to root a Carna- tion cutting when the termperature is right. When roots are about one-half to one inch long, the plants need trans- planting. Young cuttings are transplanted in “Vita- Bands,” using regular sandy loam as the potting soil. No soil mixture is required when “Vita Bands” are em- ployed, as these bands are chemically treated to nourish young plants. In about six to eight weeks, the plant is ready to set out.
