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.

A Game-Changer for Comfort
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Number of Items: 6
I recently upgraded my workout gear with the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks, and I must say, these socks have revolutionized my exercise experience. Comfortable, durable, and stylish, they truly stand out in the crowded world of athletic socks. First and foremost, the comfort level of these socks is unparalleled. The blend of cotton and synthetic materials provides a soft and plush feel against my feet, making every step a pleasure. The quarter length strikes the perfect balance, offering ample coverage without being too restrictive or too short. It's like walking on clouds, even during the most intense workouts. One of the standout features is the moisture-wicking technology. I've worn these socks during high-intensity cardio sessions, and they have consistently kept my feet dry and comfortable. The breathability is remarkable, preventing that uncomfortable feeling of sweaty feet that often accompanies strenuous workouts. No more distractions – just focus on pushing through your fitness routine. Durability is another strong suit of these socks. After numerous washes, they maintain their shape and elasticity, showing no signs of wear and tear. The reinforced heel and toe areas provide extra support, ensuring longevity and preventing the dreaded sock holes that often plague other brands. The sleek design of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks adds a touch of style to my workout attire. The subtle logo and choice of colors make them versatile enough to pair with any athletic shoes. Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or simply running errands, these socks seamlessly blend fashion with function. In terms of sizing, I found that they fit true to size. The elastic band around the arch provides a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring that the socks stay in place throughout any activity. While the price point may be slightly higher than some other options on the market, the quality and performance of the Under Armour Training Cotton Quarter Socks more than justify the investment. When it comes to comfort, durability, and style, these socks have become an indispensable part of my workout wardrobe.

Socks work really good. I have very rough and dry feet that tear up my bed sheets. They hold up to my destructive feet. They are soft and comfy!

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!
