The war garden victorious
The War Garden Victorious is a 1919 American gardening handbook by Charles Lathrop Pack, published in Philadelphia by J.P. Lippincott, urging civilians to grow vegetables during the First World War. The four pictures show a cartoon gardener with dollar-sign plants, a wheel hoe and cultivator, a pea planting depth diagram, and water-seal canning outfits. Designers might take from them a plain, line-drawn wartime propaganda style with simple hatched shading, diagrammatic labels, and a limited cream-and-black palette.
