From Tell’s Gardens catalog, 1962: FIESTA DAYS (Bion Tolman) Midseason-Late 36". (Dark Melody) X (Joseph's Mantle x Rich Raiment) Certainly a fiesta of colors. The closed standards are so heavily sanded red-violet they appear, from a distance, to be almost a solid color, however, upon close inspection the white-ground color shows through near the base of these perfect standards. Falls are semi-flaring having a ground color of oyster-shell-white with a half inch band of red-violet and an interesting beard of golden brown. Colors are sharp and clear and the sturdy well branched stalks, plus ease of growth and rapid increase, add to its many outstanding qualities. H. C. and Exhibition Certificate 1960. #55-150-2. $20.00
