BALLING AND BURLAPPING 
(B & B) 
“THE GRIFFING WAY" 
In digging our plants, we do not spade 
them out and tie burlap around the loosened 
soil. Our soil is composed mainly of Lake 
Charles Loam, a heavy black soil which in- 
sures an unbroken ball in our digging process. 
Our 240 acres are irrigated, when necessary, 
from the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal. 
Pruning goes on constantly during the sum- 
mer months which insures a maximum amount 
of growth at the time of transplanting.

Because of the manner in which we 
dig our trees and shrubs, we are able 
to ship plants throughout the entire 
year. During the summer months, we 
put our plants through a “curing” proc- 
ess in order to reduce wilt and shock 
to an absolute minimum.

We at Griffing’s welcome the opportunity 
to be of any assistance whatever in helping 
you secure any nursery stock you may be 
seeking. Please write us.

RALPH C. GRIFFING
