HELP WIN THE WAR! 



















Dear Friend: 
In the gigantic struggle which now encircles almost all of the civilized 
world, the importance of food is paramount. The old addage “an army 
marches on its stomach” is as true today as it ever was. Without a properly 
balanced diet no soldier in the field, or for that matter, no man or woman 
working in a munition factory can give his best. 
Millions of trained farm workers have been drafted into the armed forces 
and war factories as well. As a result, commercial production of vegetables 
is being hampered considerably. Furthermore, the problem of transportation 
is becoming more serious every day. To relieve this condition it is indeed the 
patriotic duty of every American with a suitable plot of ground to grow 
enough health-giving, vitamin-rich vegetables for his own family needs. 
Every “Victory Garden” planted and cultivated will require less transporta- 
tion of food and make it possible to use transportation for the war effort. 
It will mean less wear on truck tires, less use of man-power and what is more 
important to every home-owner, it will mean the expenditure of less money 
for food. What you save by growing your own food, you can profitably 
invest in War Stamps and Bonds. 
Join the ever-growing number of Victory gardeners and help win the war! 
Sincerely Yours, 
Reuter Seed Company, Inc.
