Wie 
(DEPETRIS ) 
A glistening small white pompon 
that matures normally November 12. 
It possesses a hard, durable, formal 
flower that easily satisfies the most 
critical demands for keeping and 
pearance is enhanced by a chartreuse 
eye. The habit of growth is free, 
wiry, and the dark, rigid stems de- 
velop a very productive compound spray. In growth habit and cultural require- 
ments, it very closely resembles the variety Cassandra. Its black cloth response 
is rapid and just nicely follows Pinocchio in the shading program. It lends itself 
well to out-of-season flowering and has been outstanding in the Cornell trials. 
High, uniform production and the height of quality in its floral make-up assure 
Lakme a position of eminence in any list of early profitable white pompons. 

Caroline Yosich 
A small, decorative, lavender pink pompon (SHELBY FLORAL) 
that flowers naturally October 20. Caroline 
Yosick gives a sharp and uniform response 
to black cloth shade and its major value is for 
August and September flowering. It compli- 
ments and completes an important trio for 
eatly shading—Caroline Yosick, Pinocchio, 
and Gold Coast. It has a very dependable 
growth habit, does not crown like Jewell, and 
has a much more rigid stem than Jessie and 
Pink Dot. The small, decorative flower of 
Caroline Yosick possesses excellent color- 
holding quality, and is very satisfactory under 
even the earliest shadings. Its color is not 
outstanding in natural daylight but brightens 
or softens remarkably under artificial lights.
