Excerpt from Vegetable Gardening and Canning: A Manual for Garden Clubs
If there has ever been need for garden clubs, individual gardens, and gardens of every sort, it is now when the cost of produce of all kinds has soared almost out of our reach, not only because of its scarcity, but because of the increased demand abroad as well. There is not space here to tell you why this is so, but the fact remains that if we would do ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation one of the greatest possible services, we will find some plot available for gardening and then do our best to win from it what people call a bumper crop.
If I were to ask you what are some of the material, or practical advantages of gardening, you would say the food obtained, the healthfulness of outdoor work, and the financial returns from that portion of the crop which was marketed. Your answer would be only partially correct. That is to say, you are right as far as you go, but you do not go far enough. There are several other things which the gardener gets along with his hardening muscles, fresh vegetables, and increasing bank account.
