The Storrs & Harrison Co.’s Catalog for Spring of 1935 
That is a long time for a business to be conducted continuously in one location, by 
the same organization of principles, policies and family interests. The principles of 
our foundation were based on the good old “G-olden Rule.” The continuing policy of 
Fair Dealing has maintained for us public confidence and friendliness. In good years, 
we prospered; in lean years, we got along. Now, in these genuine Hard Times, by grace of our standing and 
your friendly patronage, we are still doing business at the old stand. We thank you sincerely for your part. 
This new spring catalog is, of course, somewhat similar to its recent predecessors. However, you may miss 
an oldtime item here and there as you turn the pages. They were deliberately dropped, to shorten varietal 
lists, and to make room for new things which new generations demand. These new items, you may note, are 
in greater proportion than those missing. We hope you will enjoy the four extra pages in color (S color pages 
in all). Accurate color pictures do certainly help to explain. We have studied how to simplify price list¬ 
ings so that the reader may be spared confusion. We trust these readily apparent changes may prove helpful. 
One important change in our merchandising policy is to be noted in the Evergreen section. We are aban¬ 
doning the old style of digging and trying to transport safely, a ponderous “ball” of earth along with the 
roots. There is still a burlapped ball, yes; but instead of heavy soil, the filler is light, wet moss and ex¬ 
celsior. Now you can abandon the slow freight, for quick express delivery, at reasonable expense. 
In all descriptions and terms, we have striven for simplicity, accuracy and candor. We really have a great 
many items not offered in this book; and larger sizes in trees and shrubs than are listed. Please advise us 
of your wants in unlisted items before seeking elsewhere; the chances are, we have it and can furnish.

Q *| YEARS of 
OJL SERVICE 
TERMS 
WHEN TO ORDER. As soon as this cat¬ 
alog reaches you, send in your complete 
order for seeds, plants and trees, with defi¬ 
nite shipping instructions which we will fol¬ 
low as closely as possible. By ordering early, 
we are enabled to assemble possibly all of 
your list while supply is unbroken, and “set 
it aside” awaiting desired, or proper ship¬ 
ping time. Evergreens, caliper sized trees, 
and any other items which must be fresh-dug, are, of course, 
subject to weather and general digging conditions. 
HOW TO ORDER. Please use order sheet found in rear 
part of this catalog, carefully filling in black spaces and en¬ 
closing payment for full amount of order. Write very plainly 
or print name, post office, county, state, street and house 
number or R. F D. where you get your mail; with explicit 
directions if stock is to be shipped to some other town. To 
avoid mistakes do not write letters on same sheets as orders. 
REMITTANCES should be made by post office or express 
money order, bank draft or registered letter. Remittances m 
any other way are entirely at sender’s risk, 
ORDERS LESS THAN $1.00. We cannot afford to fill orders 
of less amount than one dollar, unless, in addition to amount 
of order, ten cents is sent. This does not apply to Seed Orders. 
SUBSTITUTION. We reserve the right in case we are out 
of a variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can 
be done (always labeling with correct name)—unless the party 
ordering says “No Substituting,” in which case we will fill 
order as completely as we can, and refund balance of re¬ 
mittance. 
GENERAL TERMS. Net cash with order. No discounts al¬ 
lowed. POSTPAID BY MAIL. We deliver postpaid to any post 
office in the United States, any article in this catalog offered 
by mail. BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT charges are not prepaid, 
but are collectible at destination. In the various classes, we 
will furnish 6 or more of one variety and size at dozen rates ; 
25 or more at 100 rates ; 250 or more at 1000 rate if quoted. 
SEASON OF SHIPPING. Orders for stock from the nursery 
will be shipped at the proper time for handling as soon as 
possible after order is received. 
LATE SHIPMENTS. Our land is cooled and vegetation 
kept dormant by proximity to Lake Erie, several weeks later 
than other sections of corresponding latitude. This enables us 
to dig and ship stock in perfect condition after trees in most 
other sections are in full leaf, and to supply the slowly 
warming points further north. 
BY FREIGHT OR EXPRESS. Every article not specially 
priced “by mail postpaid,” is priced for delivery by Freight or 
Express, packed free, but customer to pay transportation 
charges. All heavy trees in large quantities should be sent by 
freight if time is not too urgent, as the carrying charge is 
much less; and our perfect packing admits a long journey 
without injury to the trees. 
BY EXPRESS (or Mail) ONLY. Strawberry plants are 
perishable and must be delivered in quickest time possible. 
We never ship them by freight. The slowness and uncertainty 
of freight service make its use very impracticable and unsafe 
for all Tender Plants and Perennials. If such stock is ordered 
shipped in this way, customer mu^t assume entire risk of loss 
or damage. 
OUR GUARANTY 
All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condition; 
mistakes, if made, will be promptly rectified. Accept ship¬ 
ment, examine and count on receipt and notify us at 
once should there be any errors, and the carrier as well, 
if any damaged stock. This guarantee not good unless 
above requirements are complied with. We do not 
guarantee continued growth. Remember a tree, shrub or 
plant is a living organism, as much as a cow, horse or 
man. It breathes, drinks and feeds, and is liable to at¬ 
tacks of disease and insects. At prices we sell, it is im¬ 
possible for us to guarantee growth or to be responsible 
for stock after delivery to our customers in good con¬ 
dition.
