TO OUR PATRONS 
You are cordially invited to attend our 4th Annual Chrysanthemum 
Show, which will open again from October through November of this year. 
Nowhere else in the world can one enjoy the chrysanthemum show 
of early, intermediate, and extreme late varieties as you can under the 
clear autumn sky of our sunny Southern California. 
We have made thousands of new friends and customers each year 
during the blooming season through the medium of our annual show, also 
it is a real pleasure indeed to meet old friends every fall. Words are often 
inadequate to explain the countless shades, types and forms we have in 
our displays each year. The old saying “Seeing is believing,” is best ex¬ 
pressed to describe the scene of our displays. 
Our collections of Spidery-feathery types and Cascade varieties are 
unequalled anywhere else in the United States. 
We believe the cultural suggestions for Cascades which you will find 
on the inside of back cover will be of some assistance to you. 
Our cuttings of Chrysanthemums are taken from our strong and 
healthy FIELD GROWN PLANTS. 
Respectfully yours, 
SUNNY SLOPE ’MUMS GARDENS. 
FEATHERY. SPIDERY. AND THREADLIKE 
VARIETIES 
In these varieties, the florets are either fluted, quilled, or tubulated. 
The petals are of various length, with either spreading or long drooping 
florets. Most of the tubular petals are either hooked up or spoon-like at 
the extreme tips. 
Until quite recently, this type was not accepted in many instances as 
a general commercial flower by both the growers and shippers principally 
because of the fragile nature of their petals. Many new varieties were 
either imported or improved in this country in recent years, and today 
we find much of this type being shipped successfully from the Northern 
section to the Los Angeles Market. Even when shipped to your local 
markets, we recommend to have the blooms packed individually with 
tissue papers. 
The diameters indicated in following descriptions are those of extreme 
measurements with two to three flowers per plant. 
Best result is obtained by retaining the terminal crown for these 
varieties as they produce longer petals. The DATES given in regard to 
maturity are those of average growing conditions when planted from 
cuttings in May or June.
