VINTAGE POSTER SUNDAY, VICTORY GARDEN SEED COLLECTION

Will's Victory Garden Seed Collection
This is a neat poster from WWII that combines canning and growing veggies the Victory garden movement.  This was a poster for seeds that were being sold and the company was selling them as a package/group for a garden of specific size (25' x 80') and rows 25' long.

It was nice to see the seed companies tie it in with the Victory garden campaign and showing the canned "results" of the harvest was a nice touch.  It would be so cool to see companies do this again.  Our country really needs a movement or push toward being more self sufficient.  It's an art that's becoming lost and it's so important, perhaps even more so today than in ever.

I say we all "grow, can and save!"

    1. It's so neat seeing all those vintage seed catalogs and stuff that was sold. I'd LOVE to have a poster like this, ha. Maybe it's inspiring to create our own pantry and take a pic and make it into a poster, ha.
