MANDALAY 
(Plant Patent applied for) 
Molten gold forged into appealing, artistic grace. 
Glorious sunshine compressed into floral elegance. 
The world’s largest yellow Rose, with flowers as 
big as 6 in. across—gigantic beauties! No other 
name seemed to fit this new 1943 Rose from Mal- 
lerin except the colorful, romantic name of Man- 
dalay. The long, pointed bud unfolds into a very 
large, high-centered bloom of clear, pure gold 
which remains gallantly undimmed throughout the 
life of the flowers. The 40 petals are long and firm 
and of a very smooth texture. The ample foliage is 
heavy and very dark green. Here’s a flower with 
unmistakable exhibition traits that is also ideal in 
the garden, either singly or in groups. A hardy, 
prolific grower that will reign in eye-filling splen- 
dor all summer long, and be ever ready to satisfy 
your needs for cut-flowers of noble size and regal 
color. Always in bloom, always outstanding.
