<description>Published in 1943 by the United States Department of Agriculture, this 32-page educational booklet purports to be &quot;an authoritative guide to help you grow vegetables&quot;.  It explains in detail why growing a victory garden is &quot;a patriotic duty&quot;, how &quot;you will save a lot of money&quot;, and why gardening is about to become &quot;a new hobby for millions&quot;.  A cute relic of the war years, with good advice to modern-day gardeners, as well.  To quote one of the pages: &quot;Vegetables for Victory!&quot;</description>
