VISITORS AT OLD ORCHARD 
At our Old Orchard Seed Gardens we have sev¬ 
eral acres of rare and interesting hardy flowers, in 
all, more than three thousand separate kinds. They 
are there to produce the seeds that we sell, or of 
as many of them as may be produced under our 
growing conditions. Additionally, we test out hun¬ 
dreds of other kinds, including new annuals, for 
adaptability to American climate, and for determin¬ 
ation of horticultural value. Then we are doing 
a good deal of selection, hybridization, and general 
plant-breeding work, that is interesting, at least 
to us. The Seed Gardens are located on Bridge- 
boro Road, Ys mile beyond Airport Road, at Moores- 
town. New Jersey. While they are on a commer¬ 
cial production basis, with no effort to make a show 
place of them, and no plantings primarily for show 
effects, we find, nevertheless, that many persons like 
to see, and check over, the plants that we list as 
they are actually growing and blooming in the 
nursery rows. The Gardens are open each week day 
from 8 A. M. to 5:30 P. M. We regret that, due 
to difficulty of otherwise complying with the Wages 
and Hours Act, we must hereafter close the Gar¬ 
dens at 5:30 each afternoon, and keep them closed 
altogether on Sundays and Holidays, save where 
definite appointment has been arranged in advance.
