STORRS & HARRISON, INC. 
PERENNIAL GARDEN COLLECTIONS 
We offer, for spring planting, three (3) collections of 
Perennial Plants. The first is of low growing kinds that are 
suitable for Rock Gardens or for the front of the Perennial 
Border. The second is of plants taller and more bushy in 
growth which fit in well behind the first group in the border 
or in the larger soil areas in the Rockery. The third group 
consists of tall, broad plants that are highly suitable for the 
background. Great care has been used in selecting these 
groups to assure you of a wide variation in color as well as 
continuity of blooming season. ! 
In preparing the perennial bed be sure that the soil is 
well broken up. If it is available, a quantity of well rotted 
barnyard manure is highly beneficial. If not, any good 
compost or humus will help. A tablespoonful of steamed 
bonemeal planted with each plant will do wonders. 
Do not have the perennial border too wide as it is then 
difficult to cultivate and care for. A bed varying in width 
from three to six feet is often more desirable than one built 
along straight lines. 
It is often desirable to use an occasional specimen shrub 
as an accent in the Perennial border. 
Mass planting of individuals is desirable but not a neces- 
sity. Variety adds to length of blooming season and to color 
in general. 
The plants we offer are fine ones of the very best size for 
transplanting and shipping. All are young and full of vigor. 
In each list we show the following: 
First, the name of the plant; second, ultimate height in
