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 
IRISES 
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 
Perhaps the most notable feature of the 
1938 Iris Season is the price reduction 
of many of the finest Irises which will 
place them within reach of every gard¬ 
ener. Modern, large-flowered, tall, clear- 
colored varieties that only two or three 
seasons ago would have cost several dol¬ 
lars each may now be had for twenty- 
five cents each or even less. 
We wish to call particular attention to 
the collections which will be found on 
following pages. These collections are 
designed to give a maximum of beauty, 
variety and economy. They are not made 
up of inferior unsalable varieties, but 
of the very finest sorts available in their 
respective classes. 
We continue to feature Fall Blooming 
Irises and the many wonderful introduc¬ 
tions of the Sass Brothers, including 
their famous Intermediates. Our list of 
Peonies will also be found in this 
catalog. 
Favorable conditions together with our 
policy of making annual Iris plantings 
have placed our stock in excellent con¬ 
dition. Continued patronage from all 
over the country and many letters from 
our satisfied customers are our assur¬ 
ance that our strong, large, vigorous 
plants are appreciated. We will continue 
to strive to please. Thank you. 
Note: Kansas residents will please add 
two per cent to their remittances to 
cover sales tax. Sales to residents of 
other states are not taxable.
