Garden For Victory, Reel 1 (1942, silent)

Description: "Every step in planning and cultivation of home vegetable garden 20x50 clearly shown. Timetable is based on north central zone, but allowance factor is indicated. Esthetic factor, flowers etc, not neglected. Introductory titles and narration refer to special role of home gardens in war time, but film as whole is timeless. Color adds considerable beauty, but monochrome is quite satisfactory."
