PIEDMONT FIELD-GROWN 
TOMATO PLANTS 
During the past five years there has been a tremendous in- 
crease in the use of Southern field-grown tomato plants. They 
have proven to be the most satisfactory and economical solu- 
tion of the tomato plant problem in the north both for large 
canning factories and home gardeners. 
Piedmont Field-Grown Tomato Plants are grown in the 
open field where they are acclimated to outdoor temperature. 
which enables them to be set in the open field. They are not 
frostproof as it is impossible to grow frostproof tomato 
plants. However, they are not like the tender seedlings you 
get from a greenhouse, but are large, stalky plants, hardy 
enough to make a quicker start than greenhouse plants. 
Our field-grown tomato plants are grown from the best 
certified seed, which is disinfected before planting on disease 
free land. They are thoroughly sprayed by high pressure 
sprayers from the time they come up. This insures you true 
to name, disease free plants. 
Our plants are carefully selected in the field as they are 
pulled one at a time. Each plant has a well developed root 
system. Many people think tomato plants are too tender a 
plant to ship long distances successfully. However, the way 
we wrap them with damp moss and paper, and pack them in 
special crates, we can deliver them in good condition any- 
where east of the Rockies. aa
