HILL [RIS INTRODUCTIONS. 
Our new ones have been well received and the best have been accor ded some honors 
by the American Iris Society. We do not announce them as world beaters, as that 
claim has already been preempted by a host of others. Fancy words in extended 
descriptions do not make the new ones bloom beautifully or grow well, and we 
prefer to have ours rated on their merits end we are trying to put vigor by inherit- 
ance into our sorts and account good strong growing habits and free blooming as of
