FIRST. PLANT TREES 
First or last, the larger Trees to be planted 
on your grounds will demand your attention. 
In the South, as nowhere else, Shade Trees are 
an absolute necessity for comfort as well as for 
health. Trees do more to add beauty and char¬ 
acter to your place than any other improvement 
and they cost less than almost anything else. 
Tree Moved Without Setback. 
PLANT TREES FULLY CROWN 
"Great oaks from little acorns grow" is an 
old saying but true indeed, but who wants to 
wait years and years for a tree to get large 
enough to give desirable shade? Plant some 
nice Shade Trees NOW and enjoy their comfort 
this summer! 
Big Tree Moving is a newly added department 
to Griffing service and is under the direction of 
an expert. Bill Grindle, who, in addition to his 
knowledge and experience, employs the most 
modern equipment. We can move trees up to 
12 inches in diameter at any season of the year 
with no change in the appearance of the tree.

Trees to frame your house, you will next

or for rejuvenation of old plantings, we 
are glad to serve you. 
Assuming that you will take advantage 
of our Landscaping Service and secure a 
Plan, your next step is the selection of

There is no need to complete the plant¬

YEAR ROUND LAWNS IN SUN OR SHADE 
FOR SHADED HEDGE, USE ELEAGNUS 
Most hedge materials fail to thrive in 
shade, yet often hedges are required 
under Shade Trees as well as in the open 
sun. Most satisfactory for this purpose 
has proved the Eleagnus which seems to 
care not a bit whether it is called upon 
to grow in the bright sun or dense shade. 
For exposed hedge planting, we recom¬ 
mend Yaupon as superior in every way to 
the too commonly planted Privet. 
Griffing’s Shade-or-Sun Grass 
Of equal importance to your Shade 
Trees and Shrubs, is your Lawn, which 
we are also equipped to take care of in 
our regular Yard and Carden Service. We 
have a new Lawn Crass which is doing ex¬ 
ceptionally well in all sections of the 
South and which is much superior to the 
common Bermuda since it remains green 
in winter as well as in summer. 
Excellent Ground Cover 
Another fine feature of this Crass is 
that it grows as well in the shade as in the 
sun, filling a long-felt need for a ground 
cover under shade trees. In addition to 
this, it actually chokes out other undesir¬ 
able grasses and weeds. 
Plant Sod or Clumps 
Criffing's Shade-or-Sun Crass may be 
planted in solid sod or clumps as you may 
desire. Our Landscape Department will 
be glad to furnish estimates for the cost 
of planting your lawn.
