THIS YEAR, more than ever 
GROW YOUR OWN 
This year is a good time to get back to 
fundamentals. 
In the face of fearsome uncertainties, it’s 
wholesome to get closer to the soil... to 
move toward self reliance . . . to prepare 
for all eventualities. 
So this year is a good year for a return to 
Home Gardening ... for ‘growing our 
own”’ and gaining greater independence, 
health, economy, and pleasure!

Garden-fresh 
Vegetables a Gold Mine 
of VITAMINS 
When your vegetables come fresh from the garden, their 
vitamin content is at its peak. 
Vegetables from the market are decidedly inferior to the 
garden-fresh kind in this vital quality, as in so many 
others. If you want the fullest protection for your family’s 
health, GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES. And be 
sure to have plenty of those vegetables that are highest 
in vitamin content.
