This
poster
with the
caption
, "
America's
Food
Pledge
:

States
Food
Administration

encourage

fruits
and
vegetables
during
World
War
I
. The
sign
was
printed
by the
Strobridge
Lithograph

Many
Americans
planted

(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

(1941-1945)
,
Americans
again
planted
"
victory
gardens.
" The
gardens
were
promoted
widely
by the
government
and
industry
,
both
to
support
the
war
effort
and

shortages
and
rationing
