PLANT A VICTORY GARDEN 
IT IS BOTH PATRIOTIC AND NECESSARY FOR YOU AND THE 
FAMILY TO GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES THIS YEAR. 
If you have not already done so, set aside in your home grounds a 
Victory Garden plot. Plan this carefully and secure your seeds early. 
Vegetables should be selected which are essential to good health and 
are sources of vitamins, such as a selection of root vegetables—beets, 
carrots, radishes and turnips; also leaf vegetables—endive, lettuce, 
cabbage, spinach and Swiss chard. | 
Do not overlook planting beans, peas, sweet corn, onions, squash, 
and tomatoes. 
It is also urged by National leaders that flowers should be grown 
to some extent for color and cheerfulness. 
If you do not have a hot-bed, plants of the following items can 
be purchased a little later in the Spring: Cabbage, celery, cauliflower, 
egg plant, pepper, and tomato. 
For green onions, which are high in Vitamin A, sets can also be 
planted early. 
Make your plans and send in your order as soon as possible, as 
there is a shortage of some varieties of vegetable seeds, and it will be 
difficult to replace our present stock.
