PLAY SAFE—PLANT A GARDEN 
We are now on the Offensive in a Global War—the greatest war history has ever known. We must 
feed our fighting men wherever they are. Here at home we have one hundred and thirty million people to 
feed, and elsewhere in the world there are countless millions of other people who are starving or half starv- 
ing and who are looking to us for help. 
Without Home Gardens we cannot hope to avoid a genuine food crisis. By wisely planting and in- 
telligently maintaining really productive gardens we on the Home Front can do our country a great service. 
We can continue to live well; we can maintain health; we can lighten the pressure on our already over- 
loaded transportation facilities; we can save many dollars by growing vegetables and fruits, instead of buying 
them, and, by so doing, we can turn those unspent dollars back into our National Treasury through the 
purchase of War Bonds. Play safe! Plant a garden! Do your bit by being a soldier on the Home Front! 
Grow Vegetables! Grow Fruits! Grow Flowers! Morale contributes to Victory. Flowers contribute to morale.
