Molten gold forged into appealing, artistic grace. Glorious sunshine 
compressed into floral elegance. Largest of all yellow Roses; last sum- 
mer the flowers in our gardens were as big as 6 in. across—gigantic 
beauties! This Rose, which came to us from Mallerin, has inspired 
the colorful, romantic name of Mandalay. 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 splendor 
all summer long, and be ever ready to satisfy your needs for 
cut flowers of noble size and regal color. Always in bloom,
