j able , Customer satisfaction is the only firm foun- 
dation upon which to build a business. This has been our policy during 
our forty-six years of continuous service, and we have been rewarded by 
a steadily growing list of gardeners who turn year after year to Piedmont 
because they like our dependability. You can order from this catalog in 
perfect confidence that we have satisfied thousands of customers before 
you and will continue in our policy of complete satisfaction for every 
customer in years to come. 
: 
E j Three generations of Du Vernets, with faith in the 
Zualtty 
future of field grown vegetable plants, have devoted their time and energy 
to the development of better methods of production. We have seen this 
business of growing and shipping vegetable plants increase tremendously. 
Now those years of experiment and improvement serve us well, and we 
can offer you products which are the result of a priceless “know how” 
which only experience can provide. 
At Piedmont we are interested in only one kind of plant— 
the best that can be grown. We will grow no other. This year you will 
find slightly higher prices in our catalog. Realizing the greater cost of 
materials, the higher postal rates, the scarcity of labor, you might wonder 
if we had sacrificed quality were our prices not up somewhat. We offer 
you prices as reasonable as possible in keeping with general conditions, 
but we will not sacrifice the quality of our plants. From this catalog you 
can order the same fine plants which have proved over the years that 
Piedmont Plants are always the best that can be grown.
