IRIS CULTURE 
Irises are not particular as to soil, but 
the bearded varieties in general prefer 
an alkaline rather than an acid soil. 
Thev need plenty of sunshine and good 
drainage and are able to withstand 
severe drought if well established. 
Beardless 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 plante? with. 
the tops of the rhizomes level with the 
top of the ground, except in the case 
of late fall Mantiny when they should 
be more deeply covered to prevent 
heaving. 
TIME TO PLANT 
Bearded Irises may be transplanted 
any time in the spring, summer or foll, 
but we strongly recommend fall plant- 
ing for the South and Middle West 
where summers are usually hot and 
dry. Further North the summer 
months are the best time for trans- 
planting. Unless we are otherwise in- 
structed we will assume that our cus- 
tomers 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 ship- 
ped in the fall or early spring. 
HILL’S IRISES AND PEONIES 
Hill Iris introductions will be found 
listed on the inside of the back cover 
of this catalog. We are very gratified 
at the reception which they received 
last year. Flora Campbell, in particu- 
lar, was so well received as to rate an 
Honorable Mention. The varieties in- 
troduced last year were our first in the 
tall bearded class, so perhaps we may 
be pardoned for expressing our pride. 
The past winter with its severe Novem- 
ber freeze which did so much damage 
to trees and plants of various kinds 
serves to emphasize the fact that only 
tested hardy varieties and well accli- 
mated plants should be used. For the 
most part Irises came through in good 
condition, although there was some 
damage to late plantings and tender 
sorts. We advise fall planting for the 
mid-west, however plants should be 
set in time to establish themselves be- 
fore freezing weather. 
Our 1941 price list offers many reduc- 
tions in price and the addition of fine 
varieties of Irises to the Standard List 
priced at only $1.00 per dozen. We 
continue to make new plantings of 
both Irises and Peonies in order to be 
able to supply you with vigorous, 
healthy plants. 
As usual we list and recommend a 
complete selection of Sass Irises. The 
beauty and hardiness of Sass introduc- 
tions receive new acclaim each year. 
Last year’s shipment of-Irises- and ~~~ 
Peonies brought us many new friends 
as well as a continuation of the nleas- 
ant relationship with our loyal cus- 
tomers of long standing. We are grate- 
ful for your orders and letters of com- 
mendation, and we solicit your con- 
tinued patronage. Thank you. 

Note: Kansas residents will pleave add 
two per cent to their remittances to
