PREPAREDNESS GARDENS 
Under prevailing conditions PREPAREDNESS is more than essential—it is necessary. This is 
quite generally recognized from a national standpoint, but it applies with equal force to PERSONAL 
PREPAREDNESS. At no time since the first World War has it been so necessary for the Americar. 
people to increase their vigor and healthfulness. 
A serious shortage of garden vegetables, with sky-rocketing prices, may develop unless there is a 
large increase in home vegetable gardening. 
There can be no reserves of FRESH vegetables, excepting those growing in gardens. The abun- 
dant supply to which we have become accustomed, could be changed to a shortage. Requisitions 
from the army and navy, combined with increased consumption by industrial workers, could cause 
our present reserves of canned goods to melt with amazing rapidity. 
Home gardeners are hearing the call. Vacant land in favorable locations will soon be prepared to 
strengthen our food front. The first battle to be fought is one to prevent any shortage of garden 
vegetables and canned goods. This battle can be won by our army of home gardeners. 
FRESH VEGETABLES play a vital part in combating malnutrition and supplying the necessary 
vitamins for the added energy we all must have. 
You can protect your family and contribute to national preparedness by growing a large part of the 
vegetables you need in your own back yard! Be ready! Plan and plant early, for whatever may come!
