GARDEN FOR VICTORY 
Hon. Claude R. Wickard, Secretary, U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, at the National 
Victory Garden Conference, said: “I know 
there is a tremendous psychological value in 
having things for people to do in war time. 
Gardening is one activity that has great pos- 
sibilities as a useful outlet for that urge to 
do something. There’s a spiritual uplift in 
seeing things grow.” 
Richard Wright, editor of House and Gar- 
den, on the same occasion expressed a great 
truth when he said: “It is as necessary for 
the maintenance of morale to grow flowers 
as it is necessary to supply the body with 
fresh vegetables—a rose, an iris, a peony may 
do more for us in hours of stress, worry, and 
doubt than a bushel of parsnips or a ton of 
dehydrated carrots.” 
It would be well to devote our gardening 
enthusiasm and energies to the growing of 
Ornamental Shrubs, Trees and _ Flowers, 
thereby doing our bit for the morale of our 
civilian population, and rendering a valuable 
service in improving the appearance of our 
communities.
