“Twenty million Victory Gardens in 1943 pro- 
duced 8,000,000 tons of food.’”? These words of 
the Honorable Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of 
Agriculture, present the true importance of Victory 
Gardens and revealed how greatly this movement 
had grown in the estimation of national leaders. 
The Secretary further states: “I am happy to pay 
my respects to the nation’s Victory Gardeners and 
to commend them, one and all, for the fine record 
they have made. In achieving that record they 
have served their country well. By taking ad- 
vantage of the experience they have gained, many 
of these gardeners will be ready for larger plots 
next year. To all Victory Gardeners I extend my 
best wishes, and for bigger and better food pro- 
duction, and for the preservation of more garden 
products in 1944.” 
One of our greatest National assets is HEALTH—which is best preserved by the 
consumption of vitamin-filled fresh vegetables. 
Our Army and Navy personnel, our industrial workers and our allies require 
huge requisitions of canned foods and vegetables. These inroads on our food reserves 
can be met by a largely increased production of home vegetables through greatly 
increased home gardening activities. Your own home garden is an important link 
in preventing any serious shortage of fresh vegetables, for there can be no reserve = 
stocks of FRESH VEGETABLES excepting those growing in the GARDEN. Every home which can, must grow a part of its 
own food. Gardens must be planned and every row in the garden must produce all season long. é: 
THRIFT—and many sacrifices—will be necessary to bring victory. In your own back yard, the production of fresh vegetables 
is the answer to the problem of malnutrition. Your VICTORY GARDEN is a corner-stone in the foundation of vigorous health 
for our people—one of the first steps towards victory.

THE McCULLOUGH ANALYTICAL LABORATORY 
Experienced analysts test each lot of McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS to 
show their ability to germinate and produce normal plants under 
average conditions. The purity of each lot is determined as to 
freedom from dirt, chaff, other crop seeds, and a careful check 
made for the presence of weeds. Complete records of the purity and 
germination of each lot are kept in permanent files. Only seeds of 
qualities meeting the rigid requirements of the high standards for 
McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS are supplied on our customers’ orders.
