FLORIDA HOME VEGETABLE GARDENS IN 1953. 
This past season most States north of Florida suffered from 
long drouth. Vegetable crops and gardens have been seriously 
damaged by the extended dry weather accompanied by high 
temperatures. Several States have been designated by the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture as areas where disaster loans can 
be made to eligible farmers. Many home and commercial gar- 
dens were seriously affected. This has resulted in smaller 
yields and higher prices for fresh and processed vegetables. 
This situation makes the home garden, home canning and 
freezing of market surpluses, even more necessary than ever in 
order to insure ample and economical family food supplies 
this season in Florida. Plant a “Liberty Garden” to help in- 
crease food supply and to stretch the family food dollar. 
Florida is one of the most important commercial vegetable 
producing states of the Union. Florida home vegetable gar- 
dens 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 quan- 
no 
os 
tity for good health, from the market. Florida people, city 
residents as well as rural folks, can help solve their food prob- 
lems 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 in Florida. 
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 vegetable; 
in your Florida home garden, plans should also be made for 
preserving vegetables from the garden by canning or freezing 
for home use, which will mean not only better health for the 
family, but also a material saving in cost. For best results in 
your “Liberty garden” order your seeds from the Kilgore Seed 
Company—Florida’s Leading Seedsmen, Mail Order Depart-
