us coal to enable us to raise vegeta- 

 bles which must be planted early out- 

 doors. This will help the small man 

 and the farmer to get enough plants 

 to plant out next spring and to save 

 this country from food shortage. If 

 anyone is able to do important work 

 to save the country and win the war. 

 it is the greenhouse man by raising 

 a great surplus of all kinds of young 

 cabbage, salad and tomato plants. 

 Even it the plants must be distributed 

 free to poor people, it is the florists' 

 duty to perform."
