I would add a couple more words -- I would suggest "2/3 play upper notes, 1/3 play lower notes" for the 1st violin part and the reverse for the 2nd violin part. This would remove all doubt. For further clarification, you could add an explanatory note as a subtitle at the top of the part "For the divisi at H, 2/3 play upper notes, 1/3 play lower notes." Of course, reverse the fractions for the similar note in the second violins.
