PIEDMONT FIELD GROWN 
PLANTS 
The market gardener who grows vegetables for early market knows 
how important it is to get crops on the market early, if large profits 
are to be realized. The home gardener also wants early vegetables. 
To get an early start it is necessary to grow seedlings in hot beds, 
transplanting them to cold frames to.harden. The best and cheapest 
solution of the problem is to set Piedmont Field Grown Plants. 
We offer in this catalogue a line of high grade Field Grown Vege¬ 
table Plants for early setting that we guarantee to give satisfaction. 
The business of growing and shipping vegetable plants has developed 
tremendously in the past 20 years. Hundreds of millions of plants are 
shipped annually to truckers, market gardeners, and home gardeners, 
who find it more profitable to buy plants than to attempt to grow them. 
QUALITY IN PLANTS 
SUITABLE CLIMATE NECESSARY. Every year millions of plants 
are shipped from along the Gulf Coast and South Texas, where the 
climate is mild, that are not well hardened, and are not suitable for 
early setting. In the middle south the climate is adapted to growing 
plants in the open, which are hardy enough to set in the open farther 
north. Our farms are located where there is enough cold weather to 
grow plants hardy enough to set in the open field. v 
SELECTED PLANTS. Piedmont Plants are grown from high grade 
seed, and will be found true to type and variety. Our plants are hand 
selected, and are large enough to set in the field. No small, inferior, 
trashy plants shipped. We ship you the kind you order, properly labeled, 
and full count guaranteed.
