'"Fresh vegetables for an average family may be grown upon a large back yard or city lot. The use of fresh vegetables adds variety to the diet and improves the health of the people. The production of vegetables at home relieves transportation difficulties and solves the marketing problem. The city house garden utilizes idle land and spare time for food production. Thousands of acres of idle land that may be used for gardens are still available within the boundaries of our large cities. Some of the problems that confront the city gardener are more difficult than those connected with the farm garden, and it is the object of this bulletin to discuss these problems from a practical standpoint."--Page ii
