AT THE REQUEST OF THE FOOD COMMISSIONER 
and to help end the Great War which has devastated so many countries of Europe, and is even 
already bringing grief and death home to our own dear America, it is the duty of every one of us 
who has a plot of ground, or can share his neighbor’s lot, to plant a garden. 
Our allies haven’t enough to eat, many of them barely enough to keep body and soul together. Bel¬ 
gians, Armenians, Syrians—men, women and children—are starving to death by the thousands. 
The battling forces of France, England and Italy will soon feel the pinch. 
The starving millions back of the lines, upon whose health and vigor depend the constant stream 
of guns and munitions, repairing of ships, and building up of new fleets, are already worried for food 
Even our men, our very own fathers, sons and brothers, will be deprived of the rations they 
must have to give them a fair chance in the awful days just ahead of them. 
Unless every one of us here at home makes the fight to increase tremendously the production 
of food. 
Every carrot, every beet, every onion grown by 
someone who never before grew a vegetable, on 
ground never before used as a garden, means one 
more day’s life for some poor human being, for 
when it comes right down to the last, it requires 
so very little to merely sustain life, and surely we 
can for a while become vegetarians to permit the 
shipping of meats and cereals across the water. 
Keep this in mind as yon dig, and sow, and weed, 
that you are just as truly doing a part in the strug¬ 
gle that is essential and must be done, as the brother 
who risks his life in the first line trenches. 
Food will win the War is never absent from the dis¬ 
patches from the front. To plant and take proper 
care of a garden is something the old and young can 
do, that can be done, between shifts, by the men whose 
work is at home. If any of us need more incen¬ 
tive to put our minds and hearts into the work, than 
the privilege of doing our duty, remember how palat¬ 
able fresh vegetables are. 
To be of the greatest assistance to “new” gardeners, 
we have made up two collections of seeds that will pro¬ 
vide a succession of vegetables all through the season. 
We purposely have not named the varieties in order 
that we may select the sorts generally better suited for 
the State in which you live, but all the seeds in both 
collections are from our regular catalogued stock. 
We believe these collections will also prove a conveni¬ 
ence to many of our regular customers who prefer to 
take our judgment in the selection of seeds for their 
gardens. 
The fact that the collections are already arranged 
does not mean that customers may not express a pre¬ 
ference for some change, but it does mean that the 
selection finally depends upon us, and that, for obvious 
reasons, the collection must be acceptable as we send it.
