This 1918 National War Garden Commission poster was designed by the famed poster artist, James Montgomery Flagg. An allegorical representation of Liberty scatters handfuls of seeds from her basket into the earth. Liberty wears her classically draped dress, in the colors of the American flag, and wears a Phrygian cap on her head, a historic symbol of freedom and liberty. The compelling exclamation, “Sow the Seeds of Victory! Plant and Raise Your Own Vegetables,” is printed in black and green text at the top. “‘Every Garden a Munition Plant’- Charles Lathrop Pack, President.” is printed along the bottom center margin. Further actionable steps are printed in the bottom right corner of the image: “Write to the National War Garden Commission ~ Washington, D.C. for free books on gardening, canning, & drying.”

The National War Garden Commission was founded in 1917 by Charles Lathrop Pack, shortly before the United States entered the war. Its main goal was to encourage Americans to plant “war gardens” at home, in schools, and in community spaces so that commercially grown food could be sent to soldiers and U.S. allies overseas. These “war gardens” freed up agricultural produce, packaging, and transportation resources for the war effort, and helped offset shortages of agricultural workers. Citizens were urged to utilize all free land not already engaged in farming, like school grounds, parks, backyards, or vacant lots. 

Through artfully designed posters, pamphlets, and public campaigns such as the slogan “Sow the Seeds of Victory,” the National War Garden Commission promoted gardening as a patriotic duty. Women’s clubs, civic associations, and chambers of commerce all actively encouraged participation in the campaign. Amateur and beginner gardeners were provided with instruction pamphlets on how, when, and where to sow, and were offered suggestions as to the best crops to plant, along with tips on preventing rot and insect infestations. The endeavor was so successful that the Commission distributed canning and drying manuals to help people preserve their surplus crops. “As a result of these combined efforts, 3 million new garden plots were planted in 1917 and more than 5.2 million were cultivated in 1918, which generated an estimated 1.45 million quarts of canned fruits and vegetables”(Schumm, 2014).

James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) was a prodigious illustrator, working as a contributing artist to Life magazine at the surprisingly young age of 14. He is most famous for creating the first image of the fictional Uncle Sam. His “I want YOU" lithographed image of Uncle Sam was published in 1917, during the first World War. It is storied that Flagg used his own image as the model for Uncle Sam, imagining himself as a much older man and with facial hair.

Quality toothpaste with ingredients you can trust
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Probiotic - Peppermint, Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Probiotic - Peppermint
Good toothpaste. It's a nice light scent/flavor. It's pleasant. My teeth feel fresh after using it. I'm excited to see the changes. I'll post a picture of my before and then I'll update in a few months of my after. I'm so grateful this is a natural product that focuses on replenishing rather than just scratching. I still wish it cost less, I mean 14 bucks for one toothpaste seems like a lot, but it's better than using toothpaste that's laced with poison so whatever. I hope one day they come down on their price. I like that the ingredients are quality.

Delicious Sugar-Free Lollipops That Kids (and Parents!) Love – Perfect Guilt-Free Treat!
Color: Fruit, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1), Color: Fruit, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love these Zolli Drops Sugar Free Candy with Xylitol! As a parent always looking for healthier snack options, these have become a staple in our house. They taste fantastic with their natural fruit flavors – my kids can’t even tell they’re sugar-free. The cherry, grape, and other fruit varieties are bright, flavorful, and not overly sweet or artificial tasting at all. What really sets these apart is the xylitol, which is dentist-approved and actually helps promote better oral health instead of harming teeth like regular candy. No more worrying about cavities after a treat! They’re also dye-free, keto-friendly, and perfect for diabetics, so the whole family can enjoy them without any blood sugar spikes or crashes. My diabetic family member says they’re a game-changer for satisfying a sweet tooth safely. The lollipops are well-made, last a good while, and come in a convenient 3 oz pack that’s easy to throw in a bag for on-the-go. They’re a hit with kids and adults alike – we’ve used them for rewards, parties, and just everyday treats. No melting issues, no mess, and the packaging keeps them fresh. If you’re looking for a clean, wholesome alternative to traditional candy, these are it. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be buying more! 5 stars all the way.

Yummy,great to keep from junk snacking but flavor ratio in tubs is way off.
Color: Assorted, Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1), Color: Assorted, Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Love these lollies!! They are a big part of my weightloss journey. I used to grab sweet treats at night and just binge. But since I discovered these, they are the only sweet treat in my house. When my snack urge hits watching my shows at night I grab one of these and one lasts nice and long where my "hand to mouth" thing is satisfied. They do give you gas if you eat too many in one setting. But after 3 months of 2-3 a night ( long movie or 3 episodes of a show) I feel my system has gotten used to it and has no more gassy reaction. Lol I did loose 14 lbs since Jan 1st trading night time snacks ( chips, chocolate, cookies, ice cream) with these suckered. They are a pinch overpriced. But they are yummy. BUT unless you get the individual bags, getting a tub is a gamble on the ratio. I wish they'd put an equal amount of each flavor in the tub. This one had mainly pineapple(13), orange-least favorite (18) and grape(17). Whereas the strawberry(5), cherry (5) and my favorite; Rasberry-a measly 2 of them, were highly underrepresented! Its not my first tub. I thought last time it was a fluke, but this time, same thing. Hence the one star deduction. Btw, Im not the only one in the house to enjoy them. Daughters and grandkids ( and their friends) like them as well.
