Uncle Sam Says .. . 
GARDEN for 
VICTORY! 
A flourishing Victory Garden right in your own 
yard will do wonders for your purse and pantry and 
at the same time give you a personal part in Amer- 
ica’s war effort. 
Successful gardening is not hard certainly 
not TOO hard for the results you get with a little con- 
sistent effort. At the start, don't be too ambitious. But 
follow through on what you originally plan. A small 
daily stint of work will give you a thriving green 
garden amply bearing the succulent vegetables you 
need for health and well-being. 
It?s Easy With a Plan! 
But start with a plan! 
If Bos are not an experienced gardener, a little fore- 
thought will save you much time 
and effort and reward you with 
richer returns on your labor. 















Before you start, look over your 
yard. Consider what sec- 
tion will best accommodate 
a vegetable garden . in terms 
of sunshine and water... also in 
terms of the family’s living habits. 
Read the following two pages 
carefully. See if the garden lay- 
outs sketched meet your needs... 
if the crops suggested meet your 


taste. You can doubtless improve on both. But a 
definite plan at the start will give you confidence as 
you go... and grow. 
It?s Really Economical, Too! 
Nothing can protect you against promised veg- 
etable shortages and higher prices like your Victory 
Garden. At a nominal cost you can have the quan- 
tity and the quality you want of almost any vegetable 
you please. 
Besides immediate savings, there are those you 
gain by canning and preserving surpluses. Select 
your garden crops with a view to canning as well as 
table use. You'll not only save money, but have on 
hand for winter use fruits and vegetables that later 
on may not even be available from your grocer! 
Help Yourself . and Your Country 
Your Victory Garden will reward you with tangible 
benefits in health and economy. Gardening bestows 
a kind of diversion and relaxation that nothing else 
gives. That's why experienced gardeners are always 
devotees of the art. 
Now your country needs your yard—in vegetables. 
Available supplies, available transportation, aren't 
equal to both civilian and military requirements. Your 
garden means a lessening of market demand and 
brings just so much more relief to a difficult national 
situation. 
For your own sake . 
on the slogan— 
WAR GARDENS 
FOR VICTORY! 
Grow Your Vitamins 
at Your Kitchen Door! 
.. for your country’s sake, act
