The War Garden Victorious

By Charles Lathrop Pack

Book Overview

The War Garden Victorious is a book written by Charles Lathrop Pack, which was originally published in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to gardening during World War I, when the government encouraged people to grow their own food to support the war effort. The book includes detailed instructions on how to plan and cultivate a garden, as well as advice on selecting the right seeds and tools. It also provides information on preserving and storing crops, and offers recipes for using the produce in meals.Pack emphasizes the importance of gardening as a patriotic duty, and argues that it can not only help to feed the nation, but also improve people's health and wellbeing. He draws on his own experiences as a gardener and philanthropist, and includes anecdotes and stories from other gardeners around the country.Overall, The War Garden Victorious is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of American history. It is also a practical guide to gardening that remains relevant today, as more and more people turn to growing their own food for health, environmental, and economic reasons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
