PERSONAL MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS! 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE IN THE PAST! 
In presenting this new Catalog listing of our present supply of Trees, Shrubbery, 
Fruit Trees, Palms, Roses, etc. I want to take this opportunity of expressing gratitude 
to our many customers over the United States for the business entrusted to us in the 
years gone by. It has been our pleasure to serve you in the best manner our experience 
has permitted; and as the years go on, we hope to continue handling your orders with 
the same confidence of giving you full values for your money. We personally thank 
each customer for the business given us, which enables us to carry on with our ever 
enlarging selections and higher quality trees and shrubs. 

A FEATURE ABOUT GRIFFING’S B&B NURSERY STOCK 
YOU MUST NOT OVERLOOK 
Our Great Success in transplanting Trees and Shrubs safely at all Seasons may be largely Attributed 
to our Wonderful Balling Soil. There is no Other Just Like It. We have the soil that is ‘“‘just right’’ for 
Balling and Burlapping. The Ball is Cut out in one solid piece, often compared to Slicing a ‘“‘piece of 
cheese.”’ 
HOW WE BALL 
We do not Spade the Balls Out and tie burlap around the Loosened Soil nor do we Drive a Cylinder 
around to cut roots Too Short, but the Soil is Solid, never cracked and Size of Ball to conform to the 
Root System. 
CAUTION 
Never lift Trees and shrubs by the Top. Lift the Ball Itself by grasping it with both hands around the 
ball, or Larger Balls by making a Sling of Burlap, so as not to loosen Roots in the Ball.
