From AIS Bulletin #141, April 1956. Introducing SNOW BALLET (Snow Flurry x (Gloriole x Great Lakes»). A crisp ruffled blue-white with a sparkling sheen and a lovely blue flush in throat and on style arms, like the freshly fallen snow with its beautiful blue shadows. It has fluted domed standards and semi-flaring falls. The blooms are well placed on the stem. Its leatherlike substance withstands extremes in weather. A good parent for it passes on ruffles and heavy substance to all its progeny. Early midseason. 38 inches. $15. Dorothy Palmer.
