This year, there is no question about it— 
you must have a Victory Garden. It is the 
only way you and your family can have 
both the fresh and canned foods that you 
have been accustomed to; it is the ov/y way 
America can produce the vast trainloads 
and shiploads of food our own fighters and 
workers and our allies must have in order 
to win the war; it is one way in which you 
can contribute directly to this victory. 
Why YOUR Victory Garden is Vital to America 
1: There simply 1s not enough food in this 
country to take proper care of the needs 
of our own people and of other nations 
whom we must supply. 
2: With many millions of agricultural 
workers now in the armed forces and 
in factories, the only possible way to 
make up this deficiency is from the 
home vegetable garden. 
3: Fresh and canned food that is eaten 
where it 1s grown saves freight cars and 
trucks for war transportation as well as 
thousands of tons of metal ordinarily 
required for cans. 
4: A better supply of vitamin-rich vege- 
tables is today absolutely necessary to 
insure a stronger, healthier nation of 
fighters and workers. 
Why YOUR Victory Garden is Vital to Your Family 
1: Many canned foods are no 
longer available; many fresh 
foods are limited or not avail- 
able when you want them. If 
you want your family to be 
able to eat as it is accustomed 
to, the only sure way is to 
grow your own. 
2: Your family will enjoy a bet- 
ter balanced, vitamin-rich diet 
as well as a tastier one.

3: Money saved on the food bill 
will buy War Bonds and 
Stamps. 
4: Exercise, sunshine, fresh air 
and an interesting hobby to 
replace sports and motoring. 
5: Morale: your health, your 
home improve—and you're di- 
rectly helping to win the war.
