WIRING B&B TREES FOR SAFE HANDLING 
For safety in handling large Specimens of Live Oaks, 
Camellias, Azaleas, Magnolias, etc., which require a size- 
able ball of earth for transplanting, we recommend the 
wiring of the Balls after they are dug B&B, as a pre- 
caution in transplanting them. 
LARGE TREES NEED PROPER HANDLING 
In handling large Evergreen Specimens, where they 
require, and should have, a large size Ball (B&B), averag- 
ing 36 inches width, or 18 inches deep we recommend 
wrapping the balls with Hog Wire, twisting it tightly 
around the Balls, after the Ball is properly burlapped. By 
doing this, they can be shipped and planted with perfect 
safety, as there would be no chance of the burlap loosen- 
ing, or the Ball cracking in being shipped or handled. 
Trees dug with large size Balls from Griffing’s heavy 
soil are uniform and solid, containing the root system of 
the Trees. After the Burlap is fastened on securely, Hog 
wire is used to wrap around the ball to make it more 
secure for handling. Chains are thrown around the Ball 
to lift it out of the hole, and onto Trucks or cars for 
delivery. (See back cover.) 
WIRING B&B TREES AND SHRUBS 
We have indicated in our list, the sizes of Trees and 
Shrubs we consider require wiring for safe handling. 
Where listed, our price INCLUDES wiring. We are list- 
ing below our prices for wiring for indvidual cases where 
the purchaser may request this on plants or sizes not 
shown. 
Balls 24 inches in diameter..................0000.000-0..-. $2.00 each 
Balls 30 inches in diameter............0000000000000000..... 2.50 each 
Balls 36 inches in diameter.............000...000000000....... 3.00 each 
Balls 40 inches in diameter... 4.00 each 
Balls 48 inches in diameter..........00000000000-.00.----- 5.00 each 
Balls 54 inches in diameter...............000.0000.0......... 6.038 each 
Balls 60 inches in diameter.............. aoe tee eee 7.00 each 
Balls larger in size than these will be priced accord- : 
ing to the size of the Ball, quantity, etc., required. 
This also saves crating the Trees and Shrubs for ship- 
ment, and if planted locally, they can be loaded and un- 
loaded and transplanted with more safety. It also saves 
the expense of bracing the Trees, and should they blow 
over where the trees are wired, they can be straightened 
up, even though planted a year or more, with perfect 
safety that the soil will not break loose from the roots. 
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.”
