A NURSERY WITH A BACKGROUND 
OF OVER HALF ACENTURY IN THE SOUTH 
GROWING TREES 
Nearly sixty years have passed since the present Griffing Organizations had their first inception in a small 
nursery in Nortnern Fiorida on land owned by the late D. C. Griffing, and managed by his five sons under the 
name of “Griffing Brothers.”’ 2 ; : 
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.
