of bloom. It is a beautiful peach pink with chartreuse spurs on the 
back of the petals and these spurs carry their exotic coloring through 
to the front. The texture, fluting, and ruffling is exceptionally 
heavy. The clear, soft, beautiful colors, combined with unusual 24 
hour keeping quality, make Fantasy a dream for corsage and ar- 
rangements. It grows about the same as standard varieties with a 
height of 50”, with a flowerhead of 22”, 5” blooms 16 to 17 buds, and 
opens 6 blooms with 7 in color. The buds are pink at the tip, with 
the base chartreuse, changing to pink as they open. Fantasy’s pollen 
sets seed readily on other varieties; it is prolific and the bulblets 
grow readily. All size bulbs and even bulblets bloom true to type.
