This Spring we’ll all be planting Vic- 
tory Gardens .. 
defense of home and nation. 
Why do we do this—and what will 
these gardens win for us? 
. using our soil for 
Bounteous food for our tables .. . bet- 
ter health for our families . . . savings 
... healthful exercise ...food... all 
these, of course! 
But there are hidden values, too—per- 
haps even more important. There’s the 
service we render the nation by help- 
ing to release transportation facilities 
for vital war needs. Carrying fresh 
fruits and vegetables from distant

points calls for vast amounts of rolling 
stock. Today, every freight car, every 
transport truck is needed. So when we 
“grow our own” we release our share 
of this transport machinery for the 
nation’s use. 
GARDENS FOR THE “HIDDEN 
HUNGER?” 
There’s another kind of hunger, too, 
that our gardens can satisfy ... the 
hidden hunger for beauty springing 
from the earth, and for the satisfac- 
tion that comes from working our own 
soil. Hunger for the beauty of the 
unfolding rose is as powerful as our 
hunger for food. And the deep satis- 
faction of getting back to the soil 
brings a joy that is greater than ever 
in times like these. So, while we plant 
for food, we must plant for beauty, 
too... for satisfaction of the hidden 
hungers that are deep in all our souls!
