# Plan and Grow for Winter: Winter Fruits from Overseas Have Now to be Replaced by These

Two panels contrast tinned and imported fruit (oranges, bananas, cans) with home-grown cabbage, onions, carrots and sprouts, captioned as what 'now has to be replaced'. The tell for card-stacking is the framing of a wartime import shortage as a simple swap, with no mention of nutritional or supply differences.
