Place	Washington (District of Columbia) Ohio
Description	The National War Gardening Commission published this pamphlet, titled "War Gardening and Home Storage of Vegetables" during World War I. The commission's president, Charles Lathrop Pack, included it in his book War Garden Victorious, which provides a detailed account of the 1917-1919 victory gardening program and reprints of posters, pamphlets, and photographs of gardens around the United States. It is 179 pages long and measures 5.5" x 9" (13.97 x 22.86 cm). Many Americans planted gardens during World War I (1914-1918) to supplement the food they had available and support the war effort. At the end of the war, the gardens came to be called "victory gardens." During the Second World War (1941-1945), Americans again planted "victory gardens." The gardens were promoted widely by the government and industry, both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing.
