MAX SCHLING 
TO AMERICAN GARDEN LOVERS 
With the Nation at war every American, man, woman and child, eagerly welcomes an 
opportunity to share in our Nation’s war effort. 
It cannot be the privilege of all to bear arms or to produce them, nor is it the privilege 
of all of us to work in a capacity directly connected with the war effort. Civilian economic 
life must go on. 
Our most direct contributions are: 
1. The purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. 
2. Thoughtful conservation of necessary material and public services. 
3. Victory Gardening for food and morale. 
The creation of beauty and the production of food in the home garden are a great con- 
tribution for they relieve the farm labor shortage, lighten the Nation’s transportation bur- 
den; and the by-product of home vegetable production, home canning, can and will help to 
conserve precious metal. 
Flowers provide the beauty necessary to the maintenance of morale at home. Indirectly 
it can assist in the maintenance of the morale of our boys overseas. A snap-shot of the 
beauties of the home garden sent to our fighting men abroad would, by its nostalgic effect, 
augment the fighting spirit of our boys and reinstill a desire in them to get it over and done 
with as soon as possible so that they can return to the home that they love and are fighting 
President to defend.
