Lilly (Lillian) Davidow spent vacations and weekends in the Summer at the farm she owned in Vineland, New Jersey. She leased most of the land to a nearby farmer, but saved a good portion for a garden that included all sorts of vegetables as well as flowers. Everyone kidded her for being a "real farmer" because she even planted her flowers in rows. We would visit her on occasion on Summer weekends. The farm may or may not have been a remnant of the Jewish agricultural colony in Vineland. There did seem to be more Jewish farmers in the area that one would normally expect. Lilly lived for a while in the same row house turned apartment building with Rose and my uncle Harry A Franklin. She later married Joe Katz who had a house closeby in Vineland.
