Hardy Shrubs 

Storrs & Harrison Nurseries, Inc. 

HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
Shrubs cannot be dispensed with in lawn ornamentation whether they are used for softening the sharp angles of 
foundation walls or boundaries or the screening of objectionable views. Mass plantings bring out features of 
Landscape beauty. Proper selection as to height and judicious choosing of varieties will insure the accomplishment 
of any of these objects, and provide a succession of bloom from spring until fall. 
Our shrubs are heavy, well-rooted specimens and are sent by freight or express collect.
