Make a Home Vegetable Garden for Health and Profit 
YOUR HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN 
In traveling through Florida it is amazingly strange that one finds so few home 
vegetable gardens to provide a bountiful supply of good, wholesome, fresh vege¬ 
tables for the home table. Florida climate and soils are favorable to producing the 
finest home gardens in the United States. Unlike any other state in the Union, in 
Florida fresh vegetables can be grown every month in the year. 
Even if it were possible to purchase vegetables more cheaply than to produce 
them (which is not the case), yet would it not be much more desirable to have an 
abundance of a large variety of fresh vegetables of your own growing available 
at a moment’s notice in your own garden? 
In Florida, a well-kept vegetable garden can be had with little effort and small 
expense and, as many test plantings have revealed, will yield a return several times 
as large as that from an equal area devoted to any other crop that could be grown 
on Florida farms. 
Doctors, nurses and dieticians all advise the use of a plentiful supply of fresh 
vegetables in the diet in order to provide the essentials which are so necessary 
for the health and well being of the human system. Experts tell us that vegetables 
contain a higher percentage of these body-regulating essentials, such as mineral 
salts, vitamins and roughage, than are contained in any other food or food pro¬ 
duct. Statistics prove that people who eat lots -of fresh vegetables throughout the 
year have less sickness and fewer doctor bills to pay than do people who use fresh 
vegetables sparingly. 
Make a home vegetable garden this season. It will be a source of health, pleas¬ 
ure and profit to you and your family.
