Grow Endive For Christmas 

We read almost daily of boys we know being decorated for heroism beyond the line of duty. Here are three ladies from Wilmington, 
Ohio, who together planted, cared for, and harvested a large garden without outside help. Two hundred quarts of tomatoes and tomato 
juice, nearly one hundred quarts of green beans, and many other vegetables were canned. Cabbage was made into sauerkraut and 
other vegetables including two bushels of popcorn have been stored for Winter use. They give Robson Seed credit for their success. 
We are pleased that we could help. 
The gardeners in the picture are: Miss August Ingersoll, Mrs. Margaret Bates (the youngster of the trio), and Miss Cora Pflaumer. 
We believe that these three, along with many others, are doing far more than should be expected of them and are entitled to all the 
honors our nation can bestow upon them.
