LA FIESTA (I.D.) (Cordes-Eastman 85), 1933 - 
Deep sulphur yellow penciled coral red. There are 
interesting color variations in this dahlia. Out of the 
ordinary. At times the red blends with the yellow, 
giving almost a salmon pink effect. The lacy petals 
curl and twist, giving the flower the appearance of 
a chrysanthemum. Huge blooms are held well 
above the foliage on strong stems. A prize winner 
that is outstanding. Roots $2.00
