introduction the booklet said that there was greater need for home production of vegetables than at any time in the war it advised that every available bit of land be put into garden and bugcested that those with experience should help their neighbors who wish to start- but above all production should be the goal just having a garden without carrying it through to a suc cessful result la a waste of materials and manpower seed fertilizer sprays materials and tools are available but we cannot afford to waste them the department says vegetables to be grown should be those with the highest nutritional value and because of their vitamin a content it was desirable to include spinach squash and carrots the beginner would be well advised to buy plants of such crops as cabbage cauliflower and tomato gardeners were advised to have crops sown or planted in long rows wfth consideration given the amount of shade cast by taller growing plants which should be planted to the north side of the garden as thick sowing wasted seed and increased the labor of thinning the department advised that there should only be enough used to ensure a good stand and appended table with tug- bested dates of
