Make the most of your 1945 opportunity. Have 
plenty of Vegetable and Flower Plants for the 
demand that will come again in the spring. 
Countless thousands of amateur gardeners will plant home Victory Gardens next spring. Lack of time, knowledge and facilities will prevent many from 
raising their own plants of certain vegetables and flowers. For flowers will be included, too. During any period of war stress, flowers play an important 
part in civilian morale. Plan to get your share of the profits from this business. We suggest below some of the better strains to grow. Make your selection 
now and order your seed early. Seed of some items is in quite short supply.
