PLANT!! 



HAVE a War Garden this year. 

 It's a patriotic duty. In your 

 backyard or in that vacant lot nearby. 

 Don't hesitate because you never had 

 a garden before. Experience is not 

 essential to success. And there are 

 people living near you who will be glad 

 to give you advice and show you how. 



It's a heap of fun, 

 too. To see the little 

 green shoots come up 

 and watch the plants 

 mature will bring a new 

 joy into your life. The 

 sunshine and air and exercise will mean 

 better health. And how good the 

 things do taste when they come right 

 from your own garden. 



Remember, too, that every seed you 

 sow helps a soldier fight. The vege- 

 tables you raise for home use release 

 just that much more food for our men 

 at the front. It may seem a little part 

 but it's helping — and it's your 

 part. 



But the most important 

 thing to consider is seeds. 

 Uncle Sam doesn't want "slack- 

 er" gardens so don't plant 

 "slacker" seeds. Plant seeds
