Jackson Heights, New York, a community of 600 families, all residents of apartment houses, contributed 200 gardens to the war-garden campaign of 1918. Here 
a group of gardeners are seen preparing the land which has been divided into individual plots, each measuring twenty by fifty feet. Joint arrange- 
ments were made for watering; jointly owned sprayers were used to fight insects and blight; and a “vigilance committee” 
which included all the gardeners took turns in protecting the plots from petty thefts and depredations.
