Victory does not mean an end to food scarcity, 
rather it will increase the demands made by im’ 
poverished Europe upon the generosity of Am- 
erica. 
This is proved by the experience of 1918, as 
related in the official history of the War Garden 
campaign of World War I: 
“The signing of the armistice caused peremp- 
tory revision of the figures dealing with Ameri- 
ca’s obligations toward meeting the world’s de- 
mand for food. With Belgium and France liberat- 
ed and millions in South Europe clamoring for 
food the United States undertook to double (in 
1919) the exports of the previous year.” 
Without Victory gardens, government officials 
agree, it would have been impossible for the United 
States to have maintained adequate nutrition 
among its workers at home, while meeting the 
demands of its armed forces and allies. This will continue to be true, at least until 
another harvest has restored in some degree the food supply of those countries which 
have been ravished by war, and until most of our own soldiers and sailors have re- 
turned home. 
Even then, few Victory gardeners will willingly give up the great advantage of 
growing their own vegetables, and enjoying them at the height of their tenderness, 
flavor and nutritive value. For millions who have had their first experience in garden- 
ing, the Victory garden will become the permanent home garden of peace. ce 
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. Meret Sy 
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 toward victory. . a 
Your Victory Garden is the Best Investment next to War Bonds.

THE McCULLOUGH ANALYTICAL LABORATORY 
Experienced analysts test each lot of McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS to 
show their ability to potginats 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.
