Section 4B Medium Pink 
Following our lightest pink group we come to the grouping of the 
medium and deep pink Iris. This medium pink is referred to in some 
descriptions as “rose” pink but do not let this word raise your hopes 
too high. Someday we will have a true rose Iris, but, as yet we are 
still on the way to such an ideal. Here mention should be made of 
the pink blend Section 4X containing some types of this depth of pink 
when combined or blended with yellow. 
Group 1—Selfs 
Evelyn Benson is a marked advance in this group—it has a most 
unique enamel texture, a very chaste medium pink self with a light 
beard, fine branching and a good sized flower. The color is very 
fresh and bright. Rose Petal, a fine, clear deep pink self, is sprightly 
in tone, stem is tall, well branched and has flawless, substantial flowers 
of pleasing lustre. 
Fascination: a luscious medium pink of satiny texture has good 
sized blooms. Early blooming Julia Marloive, an upstanding pinkish 
red or Chinese violet bicolor has a nice stem and is a very fine Iris. 
A large flowered Richardii derivative is Mme. Cecil Bouscant, a large 
flowered old rose with a blue flush on the falls, a very distinctive Iris. 
Rota, a sprightly bright rose tone is a most cheery Iris. Aphrodite 
of smooth substance with an upstanding stem is a medium pink with 
a white flush along the beard. 
Group 2—Bi-Colors 
Rose Dominion: a fine rose bicolor of Dominion substance but 
much better plant habit. Flowers are soft, freshly colored and set off 
by a pleasing beard. Falls are strikingly flaring, making an impressive 
Iris full of character. Frieda Mohr is large in size, most distinctive in
