Summary

Pathe synopsis: They grow weeds at Bexley in Kent. Michael is young farmer who likes to nourish nettles because he rears butterflies and that’s where they like to lay their tiny eggs. Soon afterwards he collects a harvest of caterpillars and lets them loose in the garden. If you go to the butterfly farm you can get a cabbage white for a shilling, but you pay seventy guineas for a more exotic specimen.
