This 1918 National War Garden Commission poster was designed by the famed poster artist, James Montgomery Flagg. An allegorical representation of Liberty scatters handfuls of seeds from her basket into the earth. Liberty wears her classically draped dress, in the colors of the American flag, and wears a Phrygian cap on her head, a historic symbol of freedom and liberty. The compelling exclamation, “Sow the Seeds of Victory! Plant and Raise Your Own Vegetables,” is printed in black and green text at the top. “‘Every Garden a Munition Plant’- Charles Lathrop Pack, President.” is printed along the bottom center margin. Further actionable steps are printed in the bottom right corner of the image: “Write to the National War Garden Commission ~ Washington, D.C. for free books on gardening, canning, & drying.”

The National War Garden Commission was founded in 1917 by Charles Lathrop Pack, shortly before the United States entered the war. Its main goal was to encourage Americans to plant “war gardens” at home, in schools, and in community spaces so that commercially grown food could be sent to soldiers and U.S. allies overseas. These “war gardens” freed up agricultural produce, packaging, and transportation resources for the war effort, and helped offset shortages of agricultural workers. Citizens were urged to utilize all free land not already engaged in farming, like school grounds, parks, backyards, or vacant lots. 

Through artfully designed posters, pamphlets, and public campaigns such as the slogan “Sow the Seeds of Victory,” the National War Garden Commission promoted gardening as a patriotic duty. Women’s clubs, civic associations, and chambers of commerce all actively encouraged participation in the campaign. Amateur and beginner gardeners were provided with instruction pamphlets on how, when, and where to sow, and were offered suggestions as to the best crops to plant, along with tips on preventing rot and insect infestations. The endeavor was so successful that the Commission distributed canning and drying manuals to help people preserve their surplus crops. “As a result of these combined efforts, 3 million new garden plots were planted in 1917 and more than 5.2 million were cultivated in 1918, which generated an estimated 1.45 million quarts of canned fruits and vegetables”(Schumm, 2014).

James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) was a prodigious illustrator, working as a contributing artist to Life magazine at the surprisingly young age of 14. He is most famous for creating the first image of the fictional Uncle Sam. His “I want YOU" lithographed image of Uncle Sam was published in 1917, during the first World War. It is storied that Flagg used his own image as the model for Uncle Sam, imagining himself as a much older man and with facial hair.

These are amazing, my dogs favorite toys now. I have two strong chewers who haven’t been able to destroy these. I use yogurt, peanut butter and eggs, broth, really any dog friendly liquids to fill it. I recommend these to all my friends and family with dogs of all sizes.

Excellent Purchase!
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack, Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
My dogs and I really like these treat toys! I was surprised and questioning whether to keep them when I took them from the box. They are heavier and harder and larger than I envisioned. I didn't realize how hard a nylon/coffee wood combo actually is. However, I want to emphasize that the sales description IS accurate. It details the specifications, materials and size. Clearly states that they are designed specifically for aggressive chewers. I just haven't purchased anything quite like this before. That said, I was happy it came in a 2 pack and it seems a good value for the price. The dogs have chewed on them, I can see the marks, but they haven't made a dent after about 6 treat sessions. These logs are at least as hard as antlers. They will last a long time. The silicone trays are easy to fill and freeze. I made low calorie popsicles with bone broth and some added mix-ins like pureed pumpkin, healthy freeze dried dog food topper sprinkle, etc. You could also add some peanut butter in the small open end of the log if you want. I just ran hot water over the bottom of the silicone tray to melt the freeze slightly and the frozen treats slid right out. They are shaped perfectly to fit the hole in the log. The seller provided small tools to unscrew/screw the cap in and out for filling with treats. Even the smaller of my 2 dogs (30 lb Brittany) can get her mouth around the end of the log to carry it to her bed to lay and lick/chew it. I guess another advantage, beyond the durability, of the material is that my dogs don't want to play with it like a toy. They know it is time to relax and have a treat timeout. More like chilling with a chew bone. Overall we really do love these!! Glad I tried them.

Durable, Engaging Toy That Actually Lasts
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
I’m really impressed with the ClariVora 2 Pack Dog Toys for aggressive chewers. My dog is a strong chewer and usually destroys toys quickly, but these have held up really well. The material is durable and tough without being too hard, which gives me peace of mind. I especially love that they can be used as frozen treat toys. Filling them and freezing them keeps my dog busy for a long time and really helps with boredom and anxiety. They’re perfect for extending playtime and keeping dogs mentally engaged. These toys are a great size for medium to large dogs, easy to clean, and have already become a favorite in our house. If you have a power chewer and want something interactive and long-lasting, I definitely recommend these.

Small but aggressive chewers love these
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
I have a Jack Russell and a chihuahua/jack mix (I know, I must have done something really bad in a former life and this is my punishment). They’re both aggressive chewers for their size. These hold up well and they love them. The silicon molds are really easy to use and clean. I spread a little peanut butter around the sides and then fill with wet food, pumpkin, Greek yogurt etc. Once frozen they pop out easy. Keep the kids busy for a solid 20mins. Just don’t over-tighten when you close them!
