ROSES—^^The Queen of Flowers*^ 
GRIFFING’S ROSES 
Griffing’s Roses are known throughout the Southern States for their High quality 
and Productiveness. For years we have tested Hundreds of Varieties and selected a 
few BEST ADAPTED for our Southern Climate and soil conditions. 
Our Long Experience has shown us that many varieties have their merits. Custom¬ 
ers who patronize us are safeguarded by our years of testing and choosing new Tried 
Varieties. Therefore, we are listing only 
For fifty years we have been leaders in 
growing Roses. In our earlier days we 
gave attention to quantity production, 
growing tens of thousands in scores of 
varieties; however in recent years, we 
have specialized in a limited list, including 
those which average home owners can 
grow successfully without a great deal of 
attention. This list includes one or two 
dozen varieties, which, according to our 
experience, are best adapted to all condi¬ 
tions. These will give ample range of color 
for selection. The Griffing Roses have 
been the choice of thousands throughout 
the Southwest. 
Among all the Flowering Shrubs that 
make for beauty, grace and ornamenta¬ 
tion, there is none that can compare with 
the Rose. The great variety of color, 
shape and size of the blooms and the 
diversity and character of the foliage give 
it a wider range for decoration than any 
other single ^oun of plants. When added 
to these qualifications, are ease of culture, 
quick and ample response in blossoms, it is 
not to be wondered that the Rose has been 
aptly termed the “Queen of Flowers”. 
We realize that most people grow Roses 
for the flowers alone, and we are listing 
only Roses that bloom most of the year. 
Many^ persons who have had unfortunate 
experience with mildew on Roses have 
been agreeably convinced of the advantage 
of planting carefullv selected nlants which 
are not subject to mildew or blight.
