Summary

Pathe synopsis: The problem of how to weed cultivated areas of tall, delicate flowers has been solved at Twyford, Berkshire, by the use of the "elevated tractor" - which travels above the blooms and, with the aid of spike-like hoes, clears the weeds in no time. [shows the Floral Mile, Twyford, near Reading, owned by John Waterer, Sons and Crisp Ltd]
