THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



May, 1918 



Let's Help You Win The War 



The never ending cry from Europe — from our Allies and our own soldiers — for FOOD, FOOD, 

 and MORE FOOD has aroused the people of this country to their greatest duty — that of 

 feeding the world. The GARDEN MAGAZINE has therefore been drafted to the service of 

 telling war-gardeners why, how, when and where to plant and cultivate and harvest to the 

 best advantage. What we have done and what we propose to do are told below: 



What We Have Done 



1. May, 1917. Home Vegetable Gardens a Patriotic Duty. 

 Complete plans for a 50' square garden. 



2. June, 1917. Transplanting Vegetables to Economize on 

 Space. The Why and the How. 



3. July, 1917. Mobilizing the Crops for Winter. The Why, 

 What and How to Can Vegetables and Fruits. 



4. August, 1917. Saving Labor in Land Cultivation. 

 Machines of all kinds to aid the gardener. 



5. October, 1917. Keep It When You've Got It. All about 

 storing your vegetables for winter. 



6. January, 1918. Making the Smallest Quantity Reach the 

 Farthest. Plans for an economical garden. 



7. March, 1918. A War Time Garden For the Year. How 

 three people can live a year from one garden. 



8. April, 1918. Flowers For the War Time Garden. Let us 

 not forget the "rays of sunshine" this year. 



What We Will Do 



In the January, 1918, issue we started a series of "moving picture 

 films" that will continue throughout the year. Each month the 

 particular garden operations that need to be done are told in a 

 page of pictures — actual photographs of real gardeners doing 'em. 



With these pictures goes a whole page or more of text matter, 

 describing the how and the why and the wherefore of the whole 

 thing, and this is called "Putting It Simply For the Beginner." 



Effie M. Robinson, and Professor E. L. Kirkpatrick have written 

 some extraordinary articles on Canning and Drying Vegetables. 

 They will appear in the June issue — in time for use this summer. 



In June an article, "High Pressure Vegetable Gardening" ex- 

 pounds the principles of growing much in little space. 



In July " Increasing the Efficiency of the Garden " appears. 

 This article will simplify your cultivating work. 



Every month there are descriptions of the best new flowers, 

 how to grow them and how they were developed. 



To sum up the situation in a nutshell, we are working with might and main for better 

 gardens, and more gardeners. Our every energy is being expended to further the work of 

 our government and the experts they have called to their assistance in this world-crisis. 

 Here are two ways we can help you: The past issues listed on the left above contain matter 

 of interest to every gardener. You can have these issues for 25c. each, or all eight for $1.00. 

 Better still, let us mail you the next seven months of the Garden Magazine for $1.00. Then 

 you will be sure to get all the latest information obtainable of gardening methods. See the
