BANNING’S GARDEN NEWS 
1941 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS: 
A new growing season is at hand. Plan now for a real garden both for health and 
saving. Statistics show these figures for a western corn growing state: In 1919, on 86% 
of all farms, vegetable gardens on the average produced $65.00 worth of food per farm. 
In 1934, the percentage of farm gardens had dropped to 54%, or an average of approx¬ 
imately one garden for every two farms. The value of vegetables produced had dropped 
from $65.00 to only $15.00 per garden. 
Gardens in 1940 may have even been of less value. Plan now for a real garden 
this year. No garden too small to be a real saving to any family. 
We invite you to visit our new display grounds and make selections from our stock. 
Anything that is not listed, we will be glad to quote prices; also, on larger quantities. 
We appreciate the business given us in 1940 and trust that we will be able to merit 
your business in 1941.
