GARDENING—to make plants grow and bloom and fruit—is one of the 
best things that life has in store for you. 
Millions of Victory gardeners, inspired by the Government-sponsored 
“Garden for Victory’’ Program joined this year the ranks of garden friends, 
and many of them experienced for the first time the pleasure and satisfac- 
tion resulting from planting a garden. 
We welcome Victory gardeners among our family of garden friends, and 
we think this book will be of some help to many of you in getting ac- 
quainted with beautiful trees and plants. Carefully and conscientiously 
written, it should be well worth your time to be read and studied tho- 
roughly. 
Plant one tree or select a long list of them. We know that they will make 
your life happier than ever.
