Sunnyslope’s Introductions for 1949 
ORANGE BOWL. This charming early flowering exhibition- 
commercial flower is a new cross between the varieties ‘Friendly 
Rival” (Pistillate parent) and an unnamed seedling, “Number 201” 
(Staminate parent). A reflexed flower about the size of “Friendly 
Rival’’ and the color is a most beautiful shade of warm bronze 
with an orange overcast. An extra robust grower with luxuriant 
foliage at all times. A variety we are exceedingly proud to offer 
as one of our new introductions for 1950. Height—about 4 feet. 
In full bloom about October 10 from the second crown or the termi- 
nal bud. Price $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Full color illustra- 
tion on back cover.) 
MELODY. A graceful spidery variety in clear deep yellow, 
making its first debut in 1950, is an offspring of the notable vari- 
ety, “Copper Rocket.” Has large tubular petals stretching out 
horizontally, giving a feature of greater size than those that droop. 
Height is about 4% feet and the growing habit is splendid. Ma- 
tures around October 10. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.

Spidery (Fuji um) Threadlike Varieties 
Spidery varieties, as well as all others listed in this catalog, 
can be grown successfully in any part of the country with little 
protection if necessary during the blooming period. Early bloom- 
ing varieties will do very well outdoors. Though the plants may 
not be hardy in some of the coldest spots, the clumps can be pre- 
served until Spring by Wintering them in cold frames or root cellars. 
In regions where Winter is not extreme the plants can be left in 
the ground covered with straw or other protective material.

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.
