Florida home gardens for better health 
Grow Vitamins at your kitchen door 
OE RORY RI ME Se At 
Florida is one of the most important commercial vegetable 
producing states of the Union. Florida home vegetable gardens 
offer almost no competition to commercial vegetables which 
are grown mainly for shipment to northern markets. Many 
Florida families who do not get fresh vegetables from their 
own gardens, seldom get them, at least in sufficient quantity 
for good health, from the market. Florida people, city residents 
as well as rural folks, can help solve their food problems by 
producing vegetables in the home garden, that they otherwise 
would do without or would have to buy. High prices and 
reduced supplies in the markets have proven beyond all doubt 
the vital need for home garden production. 
Florida climate and soils are favorable for producing the 
finest vegetables in the United States. Unlike any other state 
in the Union, in Florida fresh vegetables can be grown every 
month in the year, especially during the fall, winter and 
spring months when they cannot be grown in other sections of 
the United States. In addition to producing fresh vegetables 

in your Florida home garden, plans should also be made for 
preserving vegetables from the garden by canning for home 
use, which will mean not only better health for the family, 
but also a material saving in Cost. 
Doctors, nurses and dieticians all advise the use of a plenti- 
ful supply of fresh vegetables in the diet in order to provide the 
essentials which are so necessary for the health of the human 
system. Experts tell us that vegetables contain a higher per- 
centage of these body-regulating essentials, such as mineral 
salts, vitamins and roughage than are contained in any other 
food or food products. Statistics prove that people who eat 
lots of fresh vegetables throughout the year have less sickness 
and fewer doctor bills to pay than people who use fresh vege- 
tables sparingly. The health of our people has become largely 
dependent upon the output of home gardens. 
Grow more vegetables in Florida home gardens this season. 
They will materially help produce better health and more 
vitality.
