The poster's title, "The seeds of victory insure the fruits of peace," ties the humble vegetable garden to the larger goals of the First World War. It was issued in 1919 by the National War Garden Commission, a group headed by Charles Lathrop Pack that urged Americans to grow their own food so that commercially grown supplies could go to troops and allied nations. The artwork is credited to Maginel Wright Enright, an illustrator known for her decorative style, and its message looks past the armistice to the food security that peacetime would still require.
