HIGHEST QUALITY FOR RESULTS 4 
Since 1886 when we first began to grow and offer selections 
of Shrubbery, Shade Trees and Fruits to the public, we have — 
tried continuously to produce and offer the highest quality 
selections of quality and varieties we could. Based on this 
practice of doing business, we have built our business on the 
foundation of “High Quality and Good Stock,” and satisfied 
customers. 
We take pride in serving our customers by furnishing high 
quality, true to variety, and good hardy field grown stock 
that we know will give results when transplanted and given 
a reasonable amount of care and attention. Today it is a 
real pleasure to point out the Home Grounds and Orchards 
throughout the Southwest, where our selections of Trees and 
Shrubbery has played such an important part in their de- 
velopment. 

‘Sign of Quality. 
A NURSERY WITH A BACKGROUND 
Over fifty years hatve passed since the present Griffing Organizations had their first inception in a small 
nursery in Northern Florida on land owned by the Jate D. C. Griffing, and managed by his five sons under the 
name of “Griffing Brothers.”’ 
Always the Griffings grew the stock they sold, offered the best of everything, experimented in every locality 
to find the most adaptable varieties, dug their Trees with care, packed under rigid inspection, and in all their 
activities gathered and disseminated information for the benefit of their patrons.

LANDSCAPING AN INVESTMENT 
THE IMPORTANCE OF LANDSCAPE 
The aim of Landscape Design is to produce the MAXIMUM 
OF BEAUTY consistent with utility. To attain THIS RESULT, 
it is usually best to secure THE SERVICES of a_Landsca 
Architect, whose assistance will not only serve TO AVOID ER- 
RORS but will also save EXPENSE AND TIME. 
LANDSCAPE PLANTING 
A WELL-LANDSCAPED dwelling gives out a perpetual smile. 
Winter and summer alike—to its owner’s family, and every passing 
stranger—it radiates quiet, JOY, refinement. 
IT NEED NOT BE a large elaborate dwelling: A cottage, even 
more than a castle, needs A BECOMING SETTING. Neither is 
much room needed. On the contrary, never is the Landscape 
Architect’s touch more wonderful—or needed—than in making the 
utmost of A NARROW OR SHALLOW LOT. 
YEAR ’ROUND PLANTING OF EVERGREENS 
Many Nurserymen will refuse to transplant Trees and Shrubs 
during the late Spring and Summer months. Due to the fact 
that we have particular kind of soil especially adapted for Ball- 
ing Trees and Shrubs and our methods of Root Pruning, we are 
able to move Trees and Shrubs, at any season of the year with- 
out the loss of small branches or even leaves. Our experience has 
taught us that by the use of our Trees and Shrubs, planting can 
be done in the Summer as well or even better than during the 
Fall and Winter. 
We have YET TO MEET the owner who ever regretted an 
INVESTMENT—where he had UNDERTAKEN this improvement 
under the competent advice and DEALT DIRECT with reliable, 
established Growers. Even one great towering Shade Tree—what 
a restful DELIGHT IT IS! Worth hundreds of dollars. Yet not 
impossible to purchase by. simply PLANNING FOR IT.
