What to Grow in Your Victory Garden 



It is a very characteristic national trait of ours 

 that we do things impulsively, go to it, so to say, 

 with a rush, and then think it over afterward. 

 That has been the tendency in connection with 

 many of our war gardens. 



And now that the war is won, the final winning 

 of victories over General Hunger and his evil com- 

 panions is up to us, here in America. As explained 

 on opposite page, the next ten months will con- 

 front us with Unparalleled conditions. Now is the 

 time to set at naught some of the distressing after- 

 effects of the war. 



Make your victory garden yield the greatest 

 amount of solid food that the soil will produce. 

 The most profitable classes of vegetables to grow 

 are beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, corn, onions, 

 peas, potatoes, tomatoes and turnips. Nearly half 

 of these are root-crops for winter use, about which 

 more is said on page 5. All of them are easily 

 grown, in almost any soil. 



Always choose the most productive sorts in 

 every class, because it is just as easy to grow, for 

 instance, a variety of beans bearing 100 pods per 

 plant as it is to grow those yielding less. Always 

 get the best strains that money can buy of these 

 profitable types, because the first cost of the seeds 

 is very small when compared with the time and 

 effort required to produce the crop. Those who 

 are not familiar with the relative merits of the 

 many sorts we offer will do well to take the illus- 

 trations as a guide. New Victory Gardeners will 

 welcome our Dollar Collection, offered on page 8.

 cover are Bonny Best Tomatoes, White Bunch 

 Onions, Trianon Cos Lettuce, Dwarf Green Kale.

 Carrot, Hollow Crown Parsnips, Detroit Dark 

 Red Beets, Chartier Radishes, Flat Dutch Cab- 

 bage, and Stone Tomatoes. 



A RpmartaWp Tr»r»l ^he new type of cultivator pushed by the soldier boy in the garden shown on front cover is the Barker Mulcher, V/eeder, and 

 lAeilldlKci Jie 1 (JUl Cultivator. We believe this to be the best all-round three-in-one garden tool yet evolved. It has three strong cultivator teeth 

 on one side. When reversed, it is transformed into a sharp weed-cutter. Between this weed-cutter and the cultivator teeth are a series of sharp knives which 

 revolve as the cultivator is pushed, very much like the knives on a lawn-mower. This pulverizes the soil, forming a perfect dust-mulch.
