The Frank 2 S. Pleit Ca. 
1877 


Twenty Million Freedom Gardens 
HIS is the minimum goal for 1948. The Secretary of Agriculture has issued a statement in which 
he said, “The Nation’s Home Gardeners can continue to help meet the critical world needs for 
food. The substantial contribution home gardeners can make in increasing the domestic food supply 
was proven during the war years. By helping himself to meet increasing living costs, the home gar- 
dener will be helping his own community to make a precious contribution to a hungry world.” 
Prices and Seed Supply for 1948 
The unexpectedly heavy demands for all kinds of Garden and Field Seeds for export has a ten- 
dency to increase the price of seeds. However, with the exception of Garden Beans and a few other 
items, we have had good crops, and call your attention to the fact that in spite of this heavy demand 
our prices remain mostly the same as last year, even a few reductions.
