will show you the early garden

area. Please do not drive on their
gardens, children or the bears!”
“Flowers of many varieties
thrive in Alaska, ranging from
tall spikes of purple fireweed to
the tiny forget-me-nots, Alaska’s
state flower. These and many
others have been captured Ln or

jewelry can be purchased either at
her home or in shops in Kenai.”

As you can see by these three examples, Savings Bonds don’t neces
sarily stop growing when they mature. They go right on building
in value as you hold them.
This means that those Bonds you tucked away and forgot about
are still earning for you at a good clip. (Every E Bond ever
purchased and not cashed is still earning for its owner.)
Of course, your Savings Bonds work hard in another important
way. As you build your own financial strength—you build the
strength of our nation.
Millions of American families think this is a pretty good assign
ment for their money ... so much so that they’ve made U.S.
Savings Bonds the most widely held security in the world.
Start buying U.S. Savings Bonds now where you bank or work,
and see if you don’t feel pretty good about it, too.
