GRIFFING’S INSURANCE: Through our protection in 
handling B&B Nursery stock, we are willing to Insure 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”), should any B&B stock that fails to start 
new growth and our instructions are followed, we will replace 
the Trees or Shrub at V 2 price at our Nursery. 
CAUTION: We accept all orders subject to crop conditions 
and on condition that same be void should injury befall our 
stock from hail, fire, frost, error in count or other causes 
beyond our control. 
Delivery Costs 
TRANSPORTATION: We can deliver to any point in the 
Gulf Coast territory at 1. c. 1. freight rates, either by motor 
freight truck or our own trucks. When we have a truckload 
of 5,000 or 7,000 lbs. for a certain destination, we can make 
delivery to your packing house or to your job. Write for our
