GRIFFING NURSERIE S—1 937 PRICES 
THIS CATALOG OF TREES AND SHRUBS HAS BEEN ARRANGED FOR YOUR 
CONVENIENCE 
Trees and Shrubs can be found much easier when names are arranged alphabetic- 
ally according to the family to which they belong. All listings are by the Common 
Names, followed by the Botanical Names. You should be able to find whatever you 
want, and recognize it by the brief description. Should you desire a Tree or Shrub 
not listed, write us or call at the Nursery; it is probable that we can supply your needs, 
but we may not have enough of a certain variety to catalog.

ARBORVITAE 
Many people prefer Arborvitaes on account of 
their formal, symmetrical shapes and as they are such 
varying types, even as to shape and color, they make 
groupings for various locations so that they are ip- 
dispcnsable as there is some kind suitable for every 
Landscape use. 
There are two types of Arborvitae known as 
Occidental and Oriental. The Occidentals are gen¬ 
erally not suited for Southern States, while the 
Oriental, or Chinese types all do well in the South. 
The Oriental type is also classed as (Biota) which 
is now unapproved.
