Standardized Grading 
“THE HONEST GRADING SYSTEM” 
When you visit our Nurseries, we will gladly show you 
the full meaning of the ‘‘Standardized Grading’’, the same as 
all Nursery Stock is listed and priced in this Price List. 

Griffing’s Waxleaf Ligustrum, illustrating Quality of plants, all same height. 
NEED FOR STANDARDIZATION 
Horticultural standards for Nursery Stock have gradually developed since 
the Convention in 1923, and have been expanded as the need for more 
Uniform Grading Standards developed. The last Revision adopted in 1936 
has proven to be inadequate to cover all classes of plants grown and sold 
by the Nursery Trade in various sections of the country. _ Purchases by 
Government Agencies have demanded more explicit grading Standards that 
will eliminate as far as possible the guesswork in writing and interpreting 
plant specifications. 
This revised Code of Standards is presented as a Recommendation for 
general use and adaption by the Members of the American Association of 
Nursery, as of 1940, we have adopted as our Standard guide in grading all 
Nursery stock sold. 
Order by QUALITY, and your order will be as carefully selected, and 
graded as if you came in person and selected your own materials. 
Throughout this Price List, the Schedule of prices are according to XX 
and XXX; the X we do not sell. 
XXX _ indicates strictly heavy, low branched, choice Trees and Shrubs. 
XX indicates well developed, medium branched, good merchantable 
Trees or shrubs. 
X indicates poor quality, measured by height only. All Nursery rows 
have some. These we do not sell. 
SPECIMEN STOCK above XX and XXX Quality, selected or marked in 
the Nurseries will be priced according to its value.
