This variety was first exhibited at the National 
Peony Show held in London, Ont., Canada, in 
1922. Here it received an award of merit and 
attracted a great deal of attention. At the St. 
Paul Show in 193 5, this variety was very much 
in evidence and was awarded the prize for the 
best flower at the show. It also won first in a 
class calling for 20 dark pinks. 
At the 1940 National Show held at Rochester, 
Minnesota, Blanche King appeared in 6 classes 
winning first prizes, in 5 winning second prizes, 
and in 3 winning third prizes.

Won the Farr Memorial Gold 
Medal for the best flower in the 
National Show held in connection 
with the Chicago Exposition in 
1933. In 1934 at the National 
Show held in St. Paul, this variety 
again won the Farr Medal for the 
best flower in the show. In 1940 
at the National Show held in 
Rochester, Minnesota, Hansina 
Brand was in four classes winning 
first prizes, in three classes winning 
second prizes, and in two 
winning third prizes. Although 
this is a Brand origination and we 
had some fine plants, we were un¬ 
able to take any flowers of this 
variety to the Rochester Show 
Had this variety been in bloom 
here in Faribault at the time we J§ 
entered our exhibits, we feel sure 
this Peony would have had even a 
better record.
