174 THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 



"Can the Kaiser" poster on the fro'nt page in a space 



covering nearly one-quarter of the entire page. The 



Boston Post used both this and the "Sow the Seeds of 



Victory" poster on 

 one page, devoting a 

 large part of the 

 space to these strik- 

 ing designs. The 

 Garden M agazine 

 used reproductions 

 of the posters as 

 cover illustrations on 

 two of its monthly 

 issues. The Forecast 



also made use of the Verrees poster as a cover design. 



The Diario de la Marina, of Havana, Cuba, one of the 



foreign papers to which copies of the posters and several 



articles on war gardening 



in the United States had 



been sent, published a 



"smash" layout of the 



Flagg Victory Garden 



poster covering almost the 



entire front page. Zig-Zag, 



of Santiago, Chile, also 



used it as a cover design. 

 During the campaigns of 



both 1917 and 1918 the newspapers of this country gave 



the Commission loyal backing. They knew the need 



of food and they saw what an asset the "city farmer" 



could be in this direction.
