_ “No occupation is so delightful to me as 
the culture of the earth, and no culture com- 
parable to that of the garden....But though 
an old man, I am but a young gardener.” 
—Thomas Jefferson 
Not all of us can serve at the front, and not all of us 
can be active in the production line, but all of us can 
contribute toward the other necessities—our nation’s 
wealth—through health, morale, and beauty. All these 
things may -be obtained through gardening. 
During the coming summer, opportunities for travel 
and recreation will be greatly limited. In these troubled 
times, you will find refreshment, inspiration, and comfort 
from gardening. Health-giving results are certain. 
Plan now to improve your grounds—make them more 
beautiful. Take advantage of your small plots—make 
them productive. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture urges 
“Victory Gardens” but advises—“do not destroy your 
lawns or flower beds to make room for vegetable rows 
and potato patches.” 
You, too, can help make America more beautiful— 
more fruitful—more productive and more healthful.
