Dear Customers: 
Vegetable gardens mean more to you with every day the war 
continues. The food you can produce in your garden is now a supply that 
no grocer can equal. 
Recently, Secretary of Agriculture, Claude Wickard, reported that 
for 1943, 19,800,000 Victory Gardens, including farm gardens, market 
gardens, home gardens and community gardens, were planted in the 
United States. Also, that these gardens produced between ten and twelve 
million tons of food. He urges that 2,200,000 additional Victory Gaf€éns 
be planted this year. ; sil 
The time has passed when the person. with unlimited money can 
buy what food is wanted. Now, week aftérsweek, important food items are 
not obtainable at any price. One November Saturday, a check on a gigantic 
public vegetable market in Cleveland showed no parsnips, very few carrots, 
beets or turnips, lettuce, squash, no beans, very few radishes, cabbage. 
These at a season when normally they are all plentiful. 
Price ceilings on fresh vegetables are high, to assure farmers a 
living; crops are small due to inability’ to get labor on-the farms; trans- 
portation for fresh vegetables is so congested that perishable items often 
may as well remain on the ground where produced, for they would spoil 
by the time they land on the markets. : 
You, in your own yard, or on nearby property that can be used by 
arrangement with owners, can produce the choicest quality of fresh vege- 
tables at so low a cost for the seed that that part is of almost no con- 
sequence. The work is healthful and the vegetables you produce so superior 
to any handled through market channels that there is no comparison. 
The plentiful supply you grow will let you can for later use, what 
you do not need for your daily meals in season. Uncle Sam lets you open
