GRIFFING NURSERIES, BEAUMOMT, TEXAS 
A NURSERY WITH A BACKGROUND 

Panorama View of Our 200 Acre Nursery 
Over fifty years have passed since the present Griffing Organizations had their first inception in a small nursery 
in Northern Florida on land owned by the late D. C. Griffing, and managed by his five sons under the name of “Grif- 
fing 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 activi- 
ties gathered and disseminated information for the benefit of their patrons.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
GET JOY OUT OF LANDSCAPE 
GARDENING 
One of the greatest joys of Garden- 
ing is in the planting of something 
new and watching it from day to day } 
as it unfolds new beauty. It is true 1on. 
that certain features of your garden 
are permanent. Your Shade Trees, for 
instance, provide background for the 
setting, and frame the picture of your 
Home. Other features of the Garden 
may be changed from year to year to 
create new interest and continue to be 
a source of joy to the planter.

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 Landscape Architect, 
whose assistance will not only serve TO AVOID ERRORS 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. 
LANDSCAPING AN INVESTMENT 
We have YET TO MEET the owner who ever regretted an IN- 
VESTMENT—where he had UNDERTAKEN this improvement under 
competent advice and DEALT DIRECT with reliable, established 
Growers. Even one great towering Shade Tree—what a restful DE- 
LIGHT IT IS! Worth hundreds of dollars. Yet not impossible to 
purchase by simply PLANNING FOR IT.
