GUARANTEE 
We Guarantee all stock to be true to 
name, of first class size and quality, free 
from diseases and pests, and to reach 
you in live and healthy condition. We 
cannot guarantee that plants will live 
and grow in your garden under condi¬ 
tions over which we have no control. 
We take every precaution to prevent 
mistakes in filling orders, but if any 
mistakes should occur, we will gladly 
make adjustment; however, we will in 
no case be liable for an amount greater 
than the purchase price of the stock. 
IRIS CULTURE 
Irises are not particular as to soil, but 
the bearded varieties in general prefer 
an alkaline rather than an acid soil. 
They need plenty of sunshine and good 
drainage and are able to withstand 
severe drought if well established. Beard¬ 
less and crested sorts, including the 
Siberians and Spurias, do best in an acid 
soil with plenty of moisture, also some 
kinds need partial shade. Bearded Irises 
should be planted with the tops of the 
rhizomes level with the top of the 
ground, except in the case of late fall 
planting when they should be more 
deeply covered to prevent heaving. We 
will gladly send a leaflet giving more de¬ 
tailed instructions on Iris planting and 
care to anyone who requests it. 
TIME TO PLANT 
Bearded Irises may be transplanted any 
time in the spring, summer or fall, but 
we strongly recommend fall planting for 
the South and Middle West where sum¬ 
mers are usually hot and dry. Further 
North the summer months are the best 
time for transplanting. Unless we are 
otherwise instructed we will assume that 
our customers want immediate shipment 
of their orders. Prompt shipment will be 
made except when digging is delayed by 
rain or other causes over which we have 
no control. A few of the very newest 
varieties of which our stocks are limited 
will not be delivered before August 
Beardless Irises will be shipped in the 
fall or early spring. 
HILL’S IRISES AND PEONIES 
This, our annual catalog for 1937, of¬ 
fers a large list of the finest Irises. Each 
year brings improvements, new colors, 
larger flowers and greater hardiness. 
But each year the prices of many of the 
fine varieties of proven merit are fur¬ 
ther reduced. As usual we offer nearly 
all the Sass Irises, originations of the 
leading hybridizers, H. P. and Jacob 
Sass. All Iris lovers acclaim their fine 
introductions. We continue our popular 
list of standard priced at $1 per dozen. 
This year for the first time we include 
Peonies in our early season catalog. Our 
customers may now order their Peonies 
early from our select list and receive 
them in the fall at the proper planting 
time. 
We appreciate the many kind letters 
from friends in all parts of the country 
who have been pleased with our plants. 
We shall endeavor to continue to merit 
their patronage by sending out plants 
of the best possible quality at reason¬ 
able prices. Many of our customers in¬ 
struct us to send their orders by collect 
express and feel themselves well repaid 
by the extras which we include in such 
orders. However, we try to be generous 
in filling all orders, and extras will be 
found in every package. 
Note: All prices quoted in this catalog 
are net and do not include any sales tax 
imposed by the State of Kansas or other 
states. Purchasers of stock on which tax 
is due should include the tax in their 
remittance.
