Do men see thrilling
TOM WILLIAMS, the Old Dirt Dobber of CBS's Garden Gate, started early to make gardens and gardening his hobby. When he was five years old, his mother gave him some blue iris bulbs, and watching his very own plants sprout and flower proved so fascinating that there was no stopping him after that. Now, heard on the CBS network Saturday mornings — consult your newspapers for the exact time in your area — he is widely known as a horticultural expert.
Williams was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 12, 1891. His father, a minister in the Church of Christ, editor and book reviewer, bestowed the "gift of gab" on his son. Correct use of the spoken word was impressed on the Williams children and quiz programs were conducted at every meal. Tom shone whenever the questions were about birds, flowers and trees.
After being graduated from high school and taking special courses in art and at trade schools, Williams accepted a position with the National Highways Association in Washington, D. C. During the first World War, Tom joined the Army and served as a sergeant instructor at Charlotte, N. C.
At one period in his life, Williams took to the road, working for insurance companies. During his travels, he pursued his gardening hobby on the premises of local nurserymen and florists. All through his youth, Tom cultivated his flowers so well that there are now thousands of offshoot bulbs in beds bordering his gardens at Brentwood, a suburb of Nashville, and many more thousands are scattered throughout the country, gifts to his many friends.
Williams married in 1927. Mrs. Williams laid out the gardens of their Brentwood home, and they have bloomed to so great a beauty that they have attracted visitors from every state.
It was this constant stream of visitors that made J. T. Ward, owner of Station WLAC in Nashville, think a radio program about gardening might be a good idea. That was in 193& Williams is still on the job, although printing remains his main business interest. Five years ago, the Dirt Dobber's program began to go out nationwide on Saturday mornings over CBS and has been gaining in popularity ever since.
Tom Williams has a daughter, Peggy Jean Williams, who is well on the way to becoming a horticultural expert herself.
