SNOWCREST (Incurved Cactus) 
Dahliadel 1941 Introduction 
SNOWCREST (Alexander-Dahliadel 85B), Bloom 7 x 41%, Bush 4 ft. This Incurved Cactus ade- 
quately fills a previously vacant spot in the list. Pure white in color, it greatly resembles Ballego’s 
Surprise, but will not be in competition with it as Snowcrest is of medium size. The bush is 
healthy and vigorous, producing blooms in great profusion from early in the season until frost. 
Stems are long, small in diameter but rigid as steel, holding flowers in perfect position. We 
know of no dahlia with better keeping qualities. Winner of the Leonard Barron Memorial 
Trophy at the World’s Fair, 1940, as the best undisseminated dahlia under 8”, American Home A- 
chievement Medal at the Dahlia Society of New Jersey Show, and Certified at Ohio Valley and 
West Virginia Trial Grounds. On 1941 Futurity and Flower Grower Honor Roll. Snowcrest  re- 
sponds well in rich soil, and stands a little extra fertilization. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $2.50
