 r/je Old Dirt Dobbt 



"The Garden Gate" radio program conducted by 

 Tom Williams, the Old Dirt Dobber, has reached such 

 heights of popularity and excellence that more than 

 TOO CBS stations carry it as a public service during 

 the months of the year it is not sponsored. In 1948, 

 "The Garden Gate" received from the 18th Annual 

 Institute for Education by Radio the top award for 

 best contribution in the entire field of agriculture. 

 Special citations were given to Tom Williams and his 

 announcer, Paul Oliphant, "for an entertaining com- 

 bination of useful information and seasonal develop- 

 ments in its (the program's) field." 



Here's brand new evidence that "The Garden 

 Gate" is the most worthwhile and best-loved garden- 

 ing program on the air today! 



Be sure to listen every Saturday. You'll like it. 



On The Cover 



The attractive white house with the green picket fence could be anyone's home in almost any 

 spot in the United States today. The zinnias, marigolds, and other blossoms making a 

 gorgeous splash of color in the front dooryard are easily grown annuals that even a 

 beginner can have fun raising. How effective it is!
