Their Mammoth Nurseries. 



Messrs. Storrs & Harrison have reason to 

 be proud of their Painesville Nurseries, 

 which extend for more than a mile along 

 the Shore of Lake Erie, two miles east of 

 Painesville, Ohio. Thirty-nine years ago 

 the Pamesville Nurseries consisted of a few 

 acres cultivated for a local retail trade. 

 Now they occupy over 1200 acres, have 29 

 large greenhouses and the largest storage 

 and packing cellars in the country. Proba- 

 bly no nurseries in the United States are so 

 well situated or have the variety of soil so 

 admirably adapted to the production of 

 hardy, healthy, well-rooted and well-devel- 

 oped specimens of such an immense variety 

 of fruits and ornamental trees, sh'ubs and 

 plants. They have recently issued a new 

 and handsome catalogue which can be 

 secured by addressing Storrs & Harrison, 

 Painesville, Ohio.
