cities.” As an alternative, it seems wiser to devote our 
gardening enthusiasm and energies to the growing of 
flowers, ornamental shrubs and trees, thereby doing our 
bit for the morale of our civilian population, and ren- 
dering a valuable service in approving the appearance 
of our communities. 
These planting sketches have beeri prepared to assist you 
in your gardening problems. They illustrate how to 
plant successfully for permanent, beautiful and produc- 
tive gardens. It is our hope that you may find this book- 
let helpful and instructive, and that your garden may 
continue to render the tremendous spiritual uplift of 
which Secretary Wickard spoke, and which gardeners 
_ have for generations appreciated.
