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.

Clean up dirt you didn’t know you had
Style: Steam Starter
This floor steamer is perfect for quick cleanups! It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver around furniture without any strain. I love the easy-change pads—they secure firmly but pop right off when you're done. While the water tank is on the smaller side, it heats up almost instantly, so refills aren't a big deal. The only real downside is the lack of an "off" switch; you have to unplug it to stop the steam, which is a bit of a hassle. Aside from that, it’s a powerful, no-fuss tool that really gets the job done!

meh!
Style: Steam Starter
I used to have a bissell steam cleaner for floors and it took a second to heat up and once it did, it steamed continually and I could turn it up or down or off. Sadly, it started to leak so I purchased this one. This is not at all like the one I had. It doesn't steam continually and the only way to turn it off is to unplug it. It doesn't clean as well as the one I had. I'm not a fan of this one. But sadly I threw away the box so now I'm stuck with it. It says you have to pump it to have it steam, almost like an iron for clothing, it steams for a second then stops.

Best steamer on market hands down
Size: Standard, Size: Standard
If you want to really deep clean your home then this will be your best friend. Comes with several different attachments which is great. It’s light weight so not heavy to carry around. So easy to put together or change attachments. They give you a measuring cup for the exact amount of water you need with a funnel so no mess putting water in. Heats up super fast which is awesome. Like i said light weight but strong steamer. The first thing i used it on was my oven which is 8 or 9 years old. From cooking especially holidays there was grease etc on it. I used the oven cleaners that say removes grease with one wipe Nope it those products actually ruined top of my stove made it dull and even other parts almost a rust look which I am not happy with. Wish I knew about this amazing machine before I ever used the store bought oven cleaner. Like I said it comes with several attachments ones for steaming your floors amazing. An attachment for grout also did an amazing job I was shocked my shower looks brand new my floors look brand new also. Another attachment is for steaming shower doors, walls, furniture and clothes works awesome. Another attachment for hard to reach places super amazing. Oh and the handle can come apart so you can make it long for when your steaming floors then make it smaller to carry around to do all the other steaming you want to do. Best part is that it didn’t break the bank the price was well worth it. I first saw this steamer on TickToc like with other items I have bought. But my go to place to see if these items are on Amazon cause Amazon is my go to place to shop, also the prices are always cheaper and you can get it in 2 days or other things I bought within hours. Where tik tok it takes weeks to get and always more expensive. So thank you Amazon for being an amazing company. If i could give more stars for this steamer I would give it a 20 star that’s how great it works. One thing I forgot to do was take a picture of my stove before but I did after. You can see where those store products ruined areas I mentioned. That was not caused by this amazing product.

Great all-in-one steam cleaner
Size: Standard
The Schenley 19-in-1 Steam Mop is super versatile and easy to use. It heats up quickly and the steam is strong enough to clean floors, grout, and bathroom surfaces without any chemicals. I love how easily it switches to a handheld steamer—feels like multiple tools in one. The build is sturdy and it maneuvers well. Overall it’s a great value and works really well.

Great Lightweight Steam Mop!
Size: Compact, Size: Compact
I’m really happy with the Schenley Steam Mop. It heats up in about 15 seconds and is ready to go almost instantly. It works well on my hardwood and tile floors, removing everyday dirt without needing any chemicals. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love that it stands on its own. The washable pads and adjustable steam modes are a nice bonus. The water tank is a bit small, but for regular cleaning it’s perfect. Great value and very convenient for quick, effective cleaning!
