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 
Geeply 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 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 ship- 
ped in the fall or early spring. 
Increased cost of labor, advertising, 
paper, boxes, packing and postage makes 
it impossible to dig, clean, pack and mail 
small collections without losing money, 
hence we will try to solve this problem 
by giving more quality and less quan- 
tity. Now we can discard and plow 
under more of the older and poorer sorts 
and give more valuable time to better 
and newer sorts, and this gives our 
customers better value. 
PRICES—If any of our early season 
prices are out of line just figure that 
we will give you good value on every 
order. Why give valuable space, land 
and labor to grow old cheap varieties. 
Put the same money in a smaller num- 
ber of higher quality and have increased : 
satisfaction. 
Hill Iris Introductions will be found 
listed on Page Sixteen at greatly reduced 
prices, Their reception and increasing 
popularity are a great source of grati- 
fication. 
We lead in Fall Blooming Irises and 
Dwarfs that continue their well dressed 
gain in-popularity. Favorable seasons 
have brought an abundance of fall bloom 
to many delighted gardeners. In the 
South the Fall Bloomers are practically 
everblooming.
