Should Everyone Have a 
VICTORY GARDEN? 
Everyone should, who has a suitable garden site, and a will- 
ingness to follow recommended procedures; also enough time 
at his disposal to permit him to take proper care of a garden 
right through the season, from planting to harvest. Without 
these essentials, the odds are strongly against success. 
Is the Vegetable Garden a 
Health Garden? 
The quality and flavor of fresh vegetables taken from the 
home garden and served within a short time after picking are 
often far superior to food which may be purchased at the 
market or store. The garden offers a variety from which to 
choose, making it easier for the housewife to have well-balanc- 
ed meals at all times. Often because of prohibitive costs, the 
family is deprived of certain foods if they are not grown in 
the garden. Vegetables are essential to supply the body with 
minerals, vitamins, acids, cellulose, and other elements; and the 
farm or victory garden, if well-planned and operated will supply 
the family, not only with fresh vegetables during the summer- 
time, but also with supplies which may be canned or stored 
for winter use. The vegetable garden is very definitely a 
health garden.
