SERVICES OF PLANTING, FERTIL- 
IZING AND SPRAYING 
While we make no speciality of 
Service Work in Gardening, we do 
like to see Our customers get results 
in the Trees and Shrubs which we 
sell to them, and always take time 
and effort to instruct the purchaser 
on the right manner of planting and 
how to take care of their trees for 
best results. 
LOLCAL PLANTING SERVICES CAN 
BE ARRANGED 
On complete Landscape jobs, where 
a full Crew of Workmen can be used 
on the job, we arrange to Supervise 
and plant the materials in place ac- 
cording to the Landscape Plans which 
we prepare for our customers; or 
follow the plans which have been 
furnished by the Landscape Architect 
in charge of the work, The charge 
for this Planting Service is based on 
the individual job, and its location, 
but we do average the charge on a 
minimum basis to cover the cost of 
supervision and labor involved. 
For the benefit of our customers 
who do their own planting locally, 
and too far away for us to service, 
we urge that you read carefully the 
Planting Instructions offered else- 
where in this Catalog. Our BGB Trees 
and Shrubbery are easy to plant, and 
will live and grow provided you plant 
them right, and water and cultivate 
fully after planting is done. 
FERTILIZING TREES & SHRUBS 
WHEN PLANTED 
Ornamental Trees and Shrubbery 
should have a nominal amount of 
Bone-Meal Fertilizer applied at the 
time of planting, and we recommend 
that you use this for results. If un- 
able to obtain from your local Fer- 
tilizer Dealer, let us know your re- 
quirements and it can no doubt be 
furnished at the time your order is 
made up. 
Other applications of Chemical fer- 
tilizers should be applied to special 
items in some areas where the soil 










conditions require it. Particularly ing and saving of ROOT SYSTEM. planting.

should Camellias, Azaleas, Gardenias, 
Roses, and a few other items receive 
special treatment. Granulated Iron Sul- 
phate, and Peat Moss are available 
in limited quantities, and will be 
priced upon request. 
SLAXIDE SPRAY (Oil Emulsion) 
FOR WHITE FLY 
We recommend for best results 
in the control and eradication of 
White Fly which attacks Privet (Com- 
mon hedge), Citrus fruit trees, and 
Gardenias, that the Oil Emulsion Spray 
material (SLAXIDE) be used, You 
may be able to secure this from 
your local SeedHouse, but if not let 
us know and we will be glad to fill 
your requirements. 
STANDARD GUARANTEE ON B&B 
TREES AND SHRUBBERY 
We follow the National Landscape 
Nurserymen’s Assn. in giving the 
same Guarantee on the life of Trees 
and Shrubbery we sell as follows: 
“Provided account is paid in accord- 
ance with terms of sale, and plants 
have received reasonable care, and 
have not been maliciously destroyed, 
we will replace at one-half original 
cost, all woody plants furnished and 
planted by us, which fail to sur- 
vive one growing Season.”’ 
The above does not cover plants 
purchased on the Nursery grounds 
and not planted by us. 
IRRIGATION 
This is one of the facilities WE 
APPRECIATE MOST in the production 
of quality Nursery Stock. Fresh Neches 
River WATER can be applied thru 
FLOOD IRRIGATION anytime OF 
THE YEAR, In this way the plants 
never suffer OF GROWTH, instead 
a compact ROOT GROWTH is devel- 
open. No roots have TO SEEK mois- 
ture for a LONG DISTANCE. The il- 
lustration shows the VALUE OF THIS 
in digging BGB Plants for transplant-

HOW WE BALL 
We do not SPADE THE BALLS 
OUT and tie burlap around the LO- 
OSENED 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. 
WHAT IS B&B 
Moving a Tree with THE ROOTS 
in the DIRT IN WHICH IT GREW. 
The Griffing method of BGB has 
upset all traditional customs about 
TIME OF PLANTING, size that CAN 
BE PLANTED, and has eliminated 
years from planting TIME to the day 
when the effect is really visible. 
ADVANTAGES OF B&B 
When Trees and Shrubs are TRAN- 
SPLANTED B&B they grow; they RE- 
QUIRE LESS maintenance; they do 
not require SEVERE PRUNING TO 
MAR_ THEIR Appearance; they are 
EASIER to PLANT, and a year or 
more IS GAINED in the GROWTH of 
a BGB Tree over one PLANTED NB. 
Plants like people are individuals, 
and all ROOT SYSTEMS are not alike; 
therefore, balling cannot BE MECH- 
ANICALLY done for the sake of 
LOOKS and the best results secured. 
Our men preserve the ROOT SYS- 
TEMS of the Plants FOR SAFE trans-
