Its caption casts the backyard vegetable patch as a wartime factory: "Every garden a munition plant." The National War Garden Commission, headed by Charles Lathrop Pack, issued the poster in 1918 to persuade Americans to grow their own vegetables so that commercially shipped food could go to troops and Allied civilians. Illustrator James Montgomery Flagg, better known for his Uncle Sam recruiting poster, designed it, and the United States Food Administration, led by Herbert Hoover, sponsored it.
