A short illustrated article on the cultivation of fuller's teasels in Somerset, England, around Taunton. It describes the plant, sowing, transplanting, harvesting and drying of the burrs, and how they are set in rods on gig-mill drums to raise a nap on woollen cloth such as blankets and overcoatings. Photographs show a teasel crop, harvesting and a gig-mill raising machine.
