If you don't need many 
plants, any shallow box 
of soil set in sunny window 
and daily watered will 
start your early plants 
just fine. 
Hello, Girls and Boys ! 
How are you all, and how's your Ma and Pa? "Gee," it's a 
whole year since I saw you last and lots of things have hap- 
pened since. then. We have Camp Grant here at Rockford now 
and it's certainly wonderful to see all the men, buildings, 
trenches, dug-outs and no-man's land just like they have in 
France. One day Dad and I went with a soldier down in a dug- 
out thirty feet below the earth — dark as night down there, just 
like a big Bear Cave you read about in story books. I wish you 
could come and see them and me sometime. 
"Say, what do you think? This year just to see what I 
could do myself, Dad put me up a Junior Collection of Vege- 
table Seeds which I planted all myself, starting my Tomatoes 
and Cabbage Plants in my home-made hot-bed pictured on the 
next page. It's made of old boards and an old window frame, 
but it sure grew fine plants. I sold all the vegetables 1 raised to 
neighbors and made $17.86 oft it and I bought War Savings 
Stamps with the money. Have you any War Savings Stamps? 
If not, here's how you can get some very easy. My garden 
pleased Ma and Pa so much and my putting the money I made 
into stamps to help win the war gave Dad the idea that it 
would be a good way to help other little boys and girls do 
the same and learn how to save, so he agreed to put me up a 
lot of these same collections like I planted and let me sell 
them to you at about half regular price so you could raise a 
Junior Garden too and help pay the war debt." 
Here it is, just like I planted, and 
we call it the JUNIOR VEGETABLE 
COLLECTION. 10 best money makers
