VICTORY GARDENS 
The National War Garden Commission has planned to replace the War Gardens of 
1917-1918 with Victory Gardens in 1919. 
The usefulness that the War Gardens have served has not ceased with the termination 
of the war’s hostilities. Years will elapse before the country’s food supply will again equal the 
demand, for we must not only provide our own needs and for those of our Allies, but we are 
called on to supply the defeated nations to save them from starvation. 
In order that the interest aroused in gardening may be perpetuated we hope that Victory 
Gardens be developed with a view to permanency to produce edible and ornamental products.
