WOMEN ARE TAKING
 HOME GARDEN PLOTS
Enter on Garden Plan With Enthusi-
 asm Equal to Men.

Women of the city have been found to respond readily to the offer of the home garden department of the cham Der of commerce to assign them home garden plots for cultivation. just as men of the city are given plots. As Signments are being made nearly ev- cry day to these patriotic women. and more assignments are stil Ito be made. Already women have plots at Trading cove. on the Briggs property on Broad way, the Norwich Housing company's tract on Washington street, and on Huntington lane.
 A fine tract of land has been pledged this week by Albert s. Bard through James L. Case at the entrance of the park on Washington street. This land was used for home garden purposes last year and very valuable crops were raised there
 C. M. Williams has pledged two very nice plots on Julian street, (which will be assigned at once.
 Lucius Cranska of Moosup has pledged three plots on Broadway known as the Briggs property. These valuable plots are being picked up rapidly.
 Under the title of "Sow the Seeds of Victory-Ulant and raise your own
 
 visor has the following stimulating word to prospective gardeners and those who have not yet thought of taking up a garden but could readily do so:
 Is good advice always good for the other fellow-and not for you? Why are you content to see others pick the juiciest fruits imaginable from their own back yards, while you pay higher and higher prices for worse and worse store vegetables? Did you ever once have the fun of going out in the ear ly morning while the dew was on and cutting a head of crisp, delicious let tuce or pull a bunch of early radish for the breakfast table? Perhaps you never watched the kiddies with their great big eyes and watering mouths paw over the cucumber vines and pull from underneath a white spins or long green cucumber covered in dew and peel it eagerly, eat it ravenousIy, with just a dash of salt sprinllled over its snowy sides. Oh. well, you've missed ! half the fun of life If you haven't. And i then the snap beans. tomatoes, sweet corn and the late crops of potatoes 1 turnips. carrots. parsnips and a hun 1 dred and one other things.
