174 THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 
“Can the Kaiser” poster on the frant page in a space 
covering nearly one-quarter of the entire page. The 
Boston Post used both this and the “Sow the Seeds of 
Victory” poster on 
one page, devoting a 
large part of the 
space to these strik- 
ing designs. The 
Garden M agazine 
used reproductions 
of the posters as 
cover illustrations on 
two of its monthly 
issues. The Forecast 
also made use of the Verrees poster as a cover design. 
The Diario de la Marina , of Havana, Cuba, one of the 
foreign papers to which copies of the posters and several 
articles on war gardening 
in the United States had 
been sent, published a 
“smash” layout of the 
Flagg Victory Garden 
poster covering almost the 
entire front page. Zig-Zag , 
of Santiago, Chile, also 
used it as a cover design. 
During the campaigns of 
both 1917 and 1918 the newspapers of this country gave 
the Commission loyal backing. They knew the need 
of food and they saw what an asset the “city farmer” 
could be in this direction.
