KENNETT SQUARE -
Garden lovers across
America will have a unique
opportunity to visit world
famous Longwood Gardens
in the comfort of their own
*
Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square will be presented to television viewers
as part of ‘‘Crockett’s Victory Garden”. Two half-hour segments will be aired
during the first and third weeks of November.
In Fall of 1976 Umbaugh introduced a new
line of standard machinery storage buildings.
The innovations in design, materials and con
struction methods have made these the best
machinery storage buildings available.
These buildings have no frills. When a far
mer buys an Umbaugh building, his money is
invested in durable materials and sound en
gineering practices.
Farmers who shop around usually buy from
Umbaugh. We invite comparisons of price
and quality.

Featured on the two pro
grams are a walk through
the conservatories, with
special attention to orchids,
ferns, and waterlilies. Out
doors, a daytime display of
Longwood’s spectacular
fountains will be shown.
Jim Crockett is especially
enthusiastic about the
educational appeal of such
areas as the Container
House and the Balcony
Gardens, both of which will
be highlighted. “Longwood
is one of the greatest
teaching gardens I’ve ever
encountered,” he notes,
“where the average home
gardener is shown what he
can do without a fortune.
“These gardens are filled
with educational features,
proven by visitors with
notebooks as well as
cameras. Even those who
come just for the spectacle
go home with a whole
pocketful of ideas.
“It’s a joy for me to come
to Longwood and see these

as well as plants I’ve not
seen growing indoors for
years. Some require special
care, some mature slowly,
and others are not well

Longwood has the first

“My philosophy is diversi

fered, the more intrigued
they will become with
gardening. And as they view
the rich diversity of
Longwood, their eyes will be
opened.”
Crockett’s approach to
gardening is based on prac
ticality and honesty. “There
are countless ways to
successfully,” he notes. ‘T
hope to show one way that
works for the greatest
number of people.” He, too,
has his gardening failures,
but he doesn’t try to hide
them. “If my tomatoes have
