Plan Now to Have a Big Garden This Spring of 
Fresh Crisp Vegetables and Beautiful Flowers 
Do the work yourself. In gardening you exercise every muscle in your body. Getting down on your 
knees, scratching old Mother Earth, planting a tiny seed and watching it grow to a luscious ripe 
Tomato, a crisp bunch of Radishes, a tender ear of Sweet Corn or a gorgeous bloom of Shaggy Asters, 
a fine bed of Zinnias or Gladiolus is the greatest tonic in the world for the entire human body. 
Furthermore, in addition to the exercise your body secures from gardening, you have the other ben¬ 
efits which after all are really the greatest; “namely” plenty of fresh vegetables to eat right out of 
your own garden, picked fresh every morning when they are at their best. In this age all of us eat too 
much meat and too many fancy dishes and very few of us eat enough of fresh vegetables which are abso¬ 
lutely essential to keep the body in perfect condition. Try gardening this year for health and profit.
