IRVING L. HILL
Arizona, the Youngest State, pg 626

A man who has done much for Arizona along the line in which 
he is interested is Irving L. Hill, proprietor of a large 
seed store in Phoenix and an authority upon the subject of 
seed culture.  He was born in Michigan in 1872 and there 
acquired a public school education.  In 1888 he removed to 
Arizona, locating at Phoenix, where he worked at various 
occupations until 1901. He then turned his attention to the 
seed business and has been remarkably successful in that 
field, owning a large store, in which he handles a full 
line of seeds, besides poultry supplies and nursery goods. 
Mr. Hill has made a special study of seed culture and has 
introduced into Arizona a number of profitable seeds. Until 
recently all Bermuda grass seed was sent to this country 
from Australia, but Mr. Hill, conceiving the idea that it 
could be grown in Arizona, purchased several fields in the 
vicinity of Phoenix which he planted to this seed. He 
harvested a fine crop and successfully threshed an entire 
carload of this seed.

In 1901 Mr. Hill was united in marriage to Miss Minnie 
Wines of Texas and they have become the parents of four 
children.
