Beaumont, Texas 
^^The Beginning^^ 
Yes, even GrifRng- Nurseries began with crude 
methods of operation. Forty-eight years ago 
the first “Griffing Grown Nursery Stock” was 
offered to the public. Year by year the Griffing 
name has been closer associated with TREES, 
SHRUBS, and PLANTS, always striving for im¬ 
provement and enlargement. 
^^Nursery grows to 350 acres'^ 
The policies adopted in the early beginning 
has enabled the expansion of the Griffing Nur¬ 
series until today it includes 350 Acres of choice 
Evergreens, Pecan and Fruit Trees, Roses, etc., 
adaptable to the Southwest. 
The Griffing’s aim is to have the name 
“GRIFFING” continue to be associated with 
better TREES and SHRUBS, and serve their 
wealth of patrons in the most satisfactory man¬ 
ner. With a love of gardening instilled by sturdy 
Welch parents, the Griffings continue their de¬ 
voted energies to ever widening the circle of 
beauty and lovableness of the Southern home. 
This brief history is given to offer you full 
assurance that your orders will have the per¬ 
sonal attention of an organization of experienced 
workers who have devoted a life time to the 
development of perfecting service, and supplying
