First Prize 
\ Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Cheers for a prizewin- 
483° ner! Its elegant self-assured manner, exquisite 
high-pointed flowers and beautiful color make it a 
stand-out. Your first impression of First Prize is that 
this is a rose that’s “going places.” And that’s what it 
has done, winning one blue ribbon after another 
ever since it was introduced. But it’s a wonderful 
garden rose too, producing plenty of magnificent 
large flowers with no more than ordinary care. 
Flowers are rich pink, lighter on the inner side 
and almost light red on the reverse. Wide satiny 
petals roll back from the high, spiraling center. Me- 
dium height, very vigorous, with long cutting stems. 
You shouldn't miss the thrilling show put on by this 
spectacular plant. You'll attract the neighbors with 
it. Plant Pat. 2774.
