Description	When Jesse Storrs of New York began looking for land to start a new nursery, he was happy to find the fertile soil and excellent growing conditions of Painesville, Ohio. Before Storrs settled there, the area was primarily known for dairy farming. Nonetheless, Storrs began his nursery in the mid-1850s. He soon took on local fruit cultivator J.J. Harrison as his partner. By 1927, they had built "the largest departmental nursery in the world with over fifteen acres." Many of the men who served apprenticeships with Storrs and Harrison went on to start their own nursery businesses, leading to Lake County's nickname as the "nursery belt." This catalog of seeds and plants includes geraniums named for Lucy Webb Hayes, wife of Rutherford B. Hayes, and President James Garfield. It measures 6" wide by 9" high and is 109 pages long.
