A lovely light yellow with a fine etching of lemon on standards and falls (RHS 4C). Standards are very ruffled and domed, well rounded, and clearly show the wide lacy styles. Flaring falls are wide and round, with beautiful ruffling complemented by a light tipped deep yellow beard. Four well-spaced branches with eight or more bUds. Substance and plant habits excellent. Fertile both ways. Exhibition Certificate and HC '71. Lakelawn Gardens.
LEMON MIST (Rudolph), the "almost Dykes." Consistently beautiful all over the country. This soft lemon is stunning in a clump, but has show stalks also. Not as "frilly" as some, but pleasing, finished form. Vigorous, too.
