WLAC's VICTORY GARDEN DRIVE GOES NATION WIDE
CLIMAX OF TEN CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF BROADCASTING OVER WLAC
TOM WILLIAMS, "ti«
Old Dirt Dobber," heard over WLAC, Nashville, and the Columbia Broadcasting System, in the agricultural feature, "The Garden Gate."
"The Old Dirt Dobber" is a program feature typical of WLAC originations which stand the test of time. As an authority on growing things, Tom Williams has a background rich in the tradition of the soil. His own display garden covers eight and a half acres and is visited each year by thousands of flower lovers, garden clubs, dealers and judges from every state in the union.
For ten solid years Tom Williams has brought to the listeners of WLAC, in Nashville, a daily program of garden questions and answers.
Three years ago, the Columbia Broadcasting System made "The
Old Dirt Dobber" a regular weekly feature so that millions of garden enthusiasts could benefit by Mr. Williams' thorough experience. His popularity with the CBS audience is illustrated by a stack of 650,000 "fan" letters.
This year the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture has accorded to "The Garden Gate" program the distinction of touching off the Government's drive for 20 million Victory Gardens. Thus, "The Old Dirt Dobber" carries on from his vast store of information to advise with and counsel millions of Americans in the growing of food for Victory.
DIRT D0BBERS GARDEN BOOK JUST OFF PRESS
Mr. Williams bestows the Order of the Green Thumb on two people each week, who have been nominated as being exceptionally fine gardeners. As a special gift, he is sending autographed copies of his new book, "The Old Dirt Dobber's Garden Book," to the Green Thumbers. Fresh off the press, this book covers every phase of gardening. In addition to chapters on all of the usual subjects, there are many special features on house plants, water-lily pools, vegetables, etc. The book is published by Robert M. McBride & Company, New York City, at $2.75.
