Never too Old

A VETERAN WAR GARDENER
There were hundreds of men and women throughout the United States who had passed the three-score-and-ten mark who tilled and cared for their own garden plots. This is Lewis Hunt, of Pearl River, New York, eighty-one years of age, who on his half-acre back yard raised a large supply of vegetables, while his daughter canned the surplus for winter use.

NO AGE LIMIT ON PATRIOTISM
Although more than ninety years of age, Mrs. Thomas L. Edwards, of Oberlin Ohio, looked after her own war garden and did all the work except the initial plowing. Then when canning time came she put up a lot of vegetables for herself and sent some as a Thanksgiving present to relatives. She was born in Wales and had a number of nephews and grand-nephews at the front.

In recognition of the war time service of the War Garden a commemorative medal was struck by the National War Garden Commission for presentation to the rulers of the United States, England, France, Belgium and Italy. The illustration at the top of this page shows the obverse of this medal. The lower picture is a reproduction of the reverse.
   
   

This is not Neptune - photo of a war gardener with produce

THIS IS NOT NEPTUNE
Joe Borzell, an employe of the Oliver Chilled Plow Company, South Bend, Indiana, was proud to pose for his picture with some of the fine potatoes and cabbages he had raised in his war garden. It is plainly to be seen that some of the company's other workers who had gardens had to show extra fine results to beat this man's products.
