Defense Gardens 
“SELF DEFENSE” GARDENS. Not saying 
much about defense gardens. Newspapers, 
magazines, radios will amply stress this idea. 
As I see it, every garden can help in 
National defense, and at the same time be 
planted and cared for in SELF defense. Thus 
you can be patriotic and selfish. 
Some things are so obvious that it seems 
almost silly to recommend or suggest. The 
back yard vegetable garden yields eats, and 
costs little to plant and care for. 
Flowers not a luxury. Their care and en- 
joyment may do more than anything else to 
keep one fit, both mentally and physically 
these days of National and personal anxiety. 
Garden expense small, yet returns cover 
weeks and months. Compare this with many 
other ways money is spent for diversion and 
pleasure. 
Summed up, just plain good sense to have 
a garden, and give it a worthwhile chance.

The “Cuke” that’s known as wild grows fast, 
And shades the porch till summer’s past. 
The seed pods set so full of stickers 
Should not be sat upon in knickers.
