Value of Good Balling Soil 
What is B&B & NB? 
Ornamental Evergreens developed a need for 
Better soils, which led us to select the Nursery 
location at Rosedale near Beaumont, Texas, 
where the B&B black heavy soil was found. 
When GRIFFING’S B&B Trees are used, you 
can “plant the year ’round”. The kind of soil, 
manner of handling and confidence allows us to 
do it. 
“Griffing Grown Evergreens Grow” has be¬ 
come a regular slogan with us. Our irrigation 
facilities enables the Nursery stock to be flooded 
during all seasons of the year, which develops 
fine fibrous roots, compact growing whicli can 
be dug without cutting in Balling. This is much 
preferred to plants grown in dry soil, where the 
root system has to hunt moisture and grows 
longer. 
Water After 
Planting 
“B&B” indicates where the 
Nursery Stock is taken up with 
the original earth in which it 
grew, by carefully chiseling 
away the soil without cracking 
or crumbling the dirt, which is 
to remain; then this ball of 
earth is securely inclosed with 
strong burlap and pinned with 
special needle-pointed nails, tak¬ 
ing up all the slack in the bur¬ 
lap. 
“NB” indicates where stock 
is dug without dirt on the 
roots, but puddled for safety in 
shipping or delivering.
