Victory Gardening -- 1945 
Over twenty million Victory Gardeners respond- 
ed last year to the call to produce more food. With- 
out these gardens and the resulting crops that 
were harvested, a definite food shortage might 
have resulted. 
Very definitely the need for productive home 
gardening and home canning is not over. We are 
again urged to grow as much as possible of our 
home needs in vegetables. 
To avoid waste, to save money and work in- 
volved, grow the vegetables your family likes, in 
the quantities you can use. Provide through the 
season a continuous harvest, with adequate sur- 
plus for home canning. Place emphasis on the 
foods rich in vitamins which are especially needed 
to avoid malnutrition under a rationed diet. 
Lawrence’s is again prepared with ample stocks 
of high grade seeds, fertilizers and insecticides to 
fill your 1945 orders. We will again grow thous- 
ands of vegetable plants to insure you of early 
returns from your gardens. Our staff is anxious 
to give all advice possible to help you in having 
a better Victory Garden. 
Along with the vegetables, do not neglect the 
growing of a few quickly and easily grown summer 
fiowers. Perhaps a new rose, a new flowering 
shrub, or a few perennials will make the balance 
needed between practical and ornamental garden- 
ing.
