tivates a garden helps greatly, to solve 
the problem of the feeding of the 
nations. — Woodrow Wilson 
We applaud the sentiments of the 
President. Thoughts to that effect 
inspired our campaign for “A Vege- 
table Garden for Every Home”

June is fraught with gardening 
possibilities. It presents no limi- 
tations. You may still start at the 
beginning and reap before fall. You 
may add to previous plantings and 
gather a greater harvest than ever.

able, we have published a booklet
