PLANT A HOME GARDEN 
Since the Beginning of Time 
Men Have Made Wars — 
But They Also tlad to Make Gardens 
It has been estimated that there were approximately 17 million 
home gardens during 1951. No doubt this increase over the previous 
year was brought about by unsettled economic conditions, the tn- 
creased skill and knowledge of home gardeners, and the use of new 
and improved varieties of vegetable seed. This record ts quite an 
accomplishment during a period of semi-mobilization. 
The 1952 record of home gardens will exceed the 1951 total. We 
are still Irving m an era of unstable economic conditions and world 
tension. Security for the average family seems remote indeed as the 
cost of living level rises. “Inflation has gone farther than most of us 
would like to see it. However, it could be much worse were it not for 
the contribution of the home gardeners to the national economy, and 
importantly to their own budget savings. 
An adequate food supply is important to every citizen. Every town, 
city, and suburban family with a plot of sunny, open space of suitable 
soil or access to a community garden can make an Important con- 
tribution to his personal and his country’s welfare by planning now 
to plant his vegetables early. 
Gardening for your table is still a very important item and is vital 
to your savings in food costs. With the advancements that have 
been made in canning and freezing, a great many gardeners prefer 
to raise their own vegetables because of the superior quality and taste 
of home-grown vegetables. Gardening comes naturally because it is 
a basic need for family survival. Plan your garden now and plant early.
