A MAYOR AND A WAR GARDEN CHAIRMAN WHO ARE JUSTLY PROUD. 

 This picture shows Mayor Davis of Cleveland and George A. .Sclineider. chairman of the Mayor's War Garden Committee, 

 inspecting the crops in a garden planted and cultivated by a troop of Boy Scouts. This garden is in the heart of the city and 

 fronts on Euclid Avenue, a street as famous as tlie Champs Elysee or Piccadilly. This garden is one of the many which are 

 to be found on the Lawns of Euclid Avenue. It is suroundcd by homes of wealth and fashion, and this environment doubt- 

 less had its influence in prompting the young gardeners to make their garden as attractive as possible. Mayor Davis is the 

 man with his hands behind his back. Mr. Schneider stands next to him, towards the center of the picture. Scout-master 

 AFcMasters is shown with liis hat ofi^. near the sign. 



WAR GARDEN ON THE LAWN OF ONE OF CLEVELAND'S HANDSOME HOMES. 

 In Ohio the home garden found ready response. Cleveland is noted for its beautiful homes and broad sweeps of lawn. In 

 this picture is shown the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Stevenson Burke in the Wade Park district, one of the most ex- 

 clusive residential portions of the city. Mr. Burke i-s a man of great wealth to whom home gardening appealed as a patriotic 

 movement. Converting his well kept lawn into a garden patch he raised the crop here pictured, consisting of corn, cabbage, 

 carrots, beets, tomatoes, beans, parsnips, pepper and parsley. Mr. and Mrs. Burke are spending no time waiting to see what 

 the nighbors will send in for their evening meal.
