The words Defense Gardens, Victory Gardens and War 
Gardens do have a familiar sound. History repeats itself 
within a generation! Our boys in the armed forces must be 
well nourished ; that goes without saying, so must the many 
millions of workers in defense factories and other fields of 
endeavor. All of our allies must be kept supplied with food. 
A war is being waged on the home front against the spec- 
ters of hunger and malnutrition. 

















GARDEN for DEFENSE—HEALTH and ECONOMY 




Plant a Garden this year for Defense, Health, and Econ- 
omy. 
Seeds of victory planted this Spring will yield a bountiful 
harvest of health, beauty, and contentment such as this 
old world of ours badly needs at the present time. 
In view of the existing conditions, we suggest that all 
of our customers order as early as possible this year in 
order to avoid the peak period when stocks of seed may be 
limited or practically exhausted.
