Gardening 
and the WAR 
HE GRIM business of war is now the business of every 
American citizen. Victory over a stern foe never was won 
by a faltering people. To win, the spirit must be kept strong and 
to accomplish this there is need of freeing the mind of dire hap- 
penings by venturing on some pleasant recreational undertaking. 



(5 ARDENING offers release from tension and care. A self 
made garden in times such as these is paramount for it 
creates an environment that brings tranquility to the spirit of the 
gardener and binds his mind to things essentially peaceful and 
beautiful. 





O the skilled tiller of the soil may be trusted the task of pro- 
ducing what is required to nourish the body, but cultivating 
plant life that brings refreshment and inspiration to perplexed 
mankind is a responsibility that more than ever before any man 
can make his own. 




IN this attempt time and materials may be saved and success in 
gardening assured to even the unskilled by making full use of 
any good nursery where there can be had reliable, well grown 
plants, and the helpful advice of a highly trained personnel that 
is ready and eager to aid the home gardener in every practical way. 



So in the days ahead make yourself better fitted to cope with 
what your country demands by gaining the strength of body 
and clarity of mind that may be had in the pleasant business of 
making and tending a garden. |
