HILL IRIS INTRODUCTIONS 
It was with some hesitation that we offered a modest list of Hill seedlings last 
year. The response has been such that we feel that we were entirely justified 
in introducing them. Reports indicate that Flora Campbell bloomed well in sev- 
eral widely separated parts of the country and was so well rated that it received 
an Ones Mention. Other varieties also performed well in different 
gardens. 
These seedlings are the result of several years work, and they have been Sse- 
lected with the idea of offering only sorts whose performance has been well 
tested. We are glad to be able to vouch for their vigor and hardiness. A period 
of testing also allows time for a seedling to increase, so that it may be intro- 
duced at a lower price than would be possible where it is offered the first year 
after blooming. 
We have some very promising seedling Fall Blooming Irises which we had 
planned to introduce this year, but we have decided not to present them yet as 
thorough testing is necessary to establish the reliability of fall bloomers. Last 
fall was a favorable one for fall bloom and we had fine bloom on our seedlings 
as well aS on named varieties. It is interesting to note that for the first time 
we were able to secure a few seeds from, last year’s fall bloom.
