THE HOME GARDEN 
The practical advantages of the home garden probably have never been 
as important as they will be this year. The times have demonstrated that 
there are many things that we can get along without and still be happy. But 
food is not one of them. 
Fresh, nutritious, substantial food is one of, in fact, the great primary 
necessities. We are all interested in securing our food supply at the lowest 
possible cost. The home garden offers the great opportunity to supply most 
of the most important items on our diet at the very minimum of expense. 
This is the year to use the home garden to the fullest extent. 
Vegetables fresh from your own garden have a tang and a flavor that 
vegetables you buy do not have. They taste better because they come from 
your garden. Crisp radishes and onions, the first green peas and sweet corn, 
and the many other good things that you can raise in your garden will reward 
you generously for the small amount of care they require.
