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. 
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 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. 
TIME TO PLANT 
Bearded Irises may be transplanted 
any time in the spring, summer or fall, 
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 trars- 
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. 
ced in the fall or early spring. 
HILL’S IRISES AND PEONIES 
The flowers will bloom again. Despite 
the troubles of a war torn world we 
still may have moments of beauty and 
peace within our gardens. 
The rising interest in gardens finds 
the hardy Irises and Peonies rankine 
high in the favor of both new and old 
gardeners. Throughout almost a!l our 
nation they give greater return for 
time and money invested than any- 
thirg else which can be planted. 
Scarcity and increased costs of sup- 
plies and labor have brought commer- 
cial growers many problems, but we 
expect to be able to continue to supl 
ply good quality plants and in many 
cases at prices substantially lower 
than last year’s. The difficulty of 
sccuring experienced workers may 
cause slight delays in shipment during 
the peak of the shipping season. Cus- 
tomers are urged to send their orders 
early and to indicate second choice 
varieties in case we are sold out of 
some items. However substitutions 
ye not be made without authoriza- 
ion. 
Hill Iris Introductions will be found 
listed inside the back cover at greatly 
reduced prices. Their reception aid 
increasing popularity are a great 
source? of gratification. 
Fall Blooming Irises continue ‘their 
well deserved gain in popularity. 
Favorable seasons have brought an 
abundance of fall bloom to many de- 
lighted gardeners. In the South the 
Fall Bloomers are practically ever- 
blooming. 
Again we thank you for your orders 
and solicit your continued patronage. 
Each season brings us new friends as 
well as a renewal of our pleasant re- 
lationship with those of long standing. 
Note: Kansas residents will please add 
two per cent to their remittances to 
cover sales tax. Residents of other 
states will be governed by their own 
laws and regulations.
