LARGE WHOLESALE PURCHASES 
V s 
SMALL WHOLESALE PURCHASES: In order to 
supply Fresh Dug stock according to Standardized 
Grading, and fill the requirements of each individual 
Customer, it is necessary to select and dig the Trees 
from the fields for each order. The carload orders, 
where more men are worked economically and the 
stock hauled direct to the Cars for loading, these 
orders can be handled cheaper per plant than on small 
orders. Refer to the Prices “per each” in Carlots 
for orders totaling a carlot shipment. 
FOR LESS CARLOT orders, additional expense is in¬ 
volved in selecting and assembling small individual 
plants from the large fields, which requires extra ex¬ 
pense of labor, etc.; therefore this stock is priced at 
the “Each Rate Prices”. The cost may be a little 
more per plant, but you get the grade, size, quality 
and FRESH DUG stock each time. 
GUARANTEE: We will replace any plants not true 
to name, or up to Grade and that do not arrive in 
good condition when it'is delivered to Transportation 
Companies. All Carriers are responsible for any 
damage or injury in transit. 
GRIFFING’S INSURANCE: Through our protection 
in handling B&B Nursery stock, we are willing to In¬ 
sure or Guarantee our Trees to grow, provided our 
instructions are followed. While this is unusual for 
a Wholesale Nurseryman to do, we are so confident 
in the results our Stock will give, (having been grown 
in our Beaumont Soil, and handled the “Griffing Way”) 
we do not hesitate to give this Unlimited Insurance. 
Should any stock fail to grow and our instructions 
are followed, we will replace the Trees FREE, f. o. b. 
our Nurseries. 
STANDARDIZED GRADING 
In our judgment, Standardized Grading is the only 
way to honestly Grade and Sell Nursery Stock. We 
ofler for sale only our No. 1 Grade Stock, or Better; 
and hold our light No. 2 grade for growing over. 
We use the Standardized System of Grading as 
adopted by the American Association of Nurserymen in 
1923, and since revised to date. We have followed 
this System religiously since its adoption, and we 
are perhaps the only large Nursery in the South who 
do follow this System of Fair Grading.
