USDA - HOME AND GARDEN BULLETINS

Home and Garden Bulletins (HGB) were printed by the Government Printing Office as a service to consumers and homemakers.

USDA Home and Garden Bulletin 186As typical government issue, they were often printed on inexpensive paper and in the form of stapled booklets or one-page or folded leaflets.  Many were illustrated.

The booklets are presented below in alphabetical order by title, with the year of publication and bulletin number following.

Please note that many of the older publications are out of print and are no longer available from the Government Printing Office.  Some of the booklets still contain valuable information, however.   Good sources for finding these older titles are used bookstores, online bookstores, Ebay and antique shops.

Your local library or county extension agent may also have copies that are available for you to look at or borrow.
