Under the question "Will you have a part in victory?" this poster carries a slogan that frames a backyard plot as war work: "Every garden a munition plant." Charles Lathrop Pack's National War Garden Commission promoted home vegetable gardening during the First World War, so that more of the country's food could go to American troops and allied civilians. James Montgomery Flagg, best known for his Uncle Sam "I Want You" recruiting poster, designed this lithograph around the same wartime appeal. It shows how far the government's call for national sacrifice reached, into ordinary yards and vacant lots.
