Last year our government advocated and promoted 
Victory Gardens, urging everyone who could to plant 
a home garden. This year, with food rationing and food 
shortages developing, it is apparent to all of us that 
home grown vegetables are going to be an essential 
and necessary supplement to the food that we can buy. 
Due to labor and transportation difficulties, vegeta- 
bles are not going to be plentiful on the markets. We 
therefore urge that the home gardener make every effort to have a large 
and productive garden. The market gardener will find ready sale for all 
that he can grow at good prices. 

We too are faced with many difficulties in the production of vegetable 
plants, due to shortage of labor and supplies. We are making every effort 
to continue to supply our friends and customers with high grade vegetable 
plants. 
With best wishes for gardening success in 1948, as part of your contri- 
bution to the war effort, we are, 
Cordially yours, 
PIEDMONT PLANT CO.
