VICTORY 



VEGETABLE 



GARDEN 



In these days when maximum production in 

 all lines counts for so much, the growing of 

 vegetables in the home garden is of particular 

 importance to maintain the health of the na- 

 tion and relieve shipping facilities as much as 

 possible. Home-grown vegetables freshly har- 

 vested and promptly prepared for the table 

 not only are more nutritious and wholesome 

 but they are of better flavor and more palata- 

 ble than the usual market produce. 



The carefully planned garden insures maxi- 

 mum returns and by planting succession crops 

 fresh, wholesome produce may be had con- 

 tinuously from early summer until severe frost. 



Refer to page 28 of this book where you 

 will find a Vegetable Planting Calendar which 

 tells what to plant during each month of the 

 growing season. Of course the dates may have 

 to be adjusted for your location in accordance 

 with the remarks made in the introduction to 

 this calendar. If space permits plant or grow 

 enough vegetables for canning and winter stor- 

 age ako. Beets, Carrots, Turnips, and Ruta 

 Baga will keep well either in a cool cellar or 

 an outdoor pit.
