KING VEGETABLES
COLOUR FILM OF VICTORY GARDENERS. 4 Wartime gardeners in Buckingham. Palace grounds and in London’s working class districts are the stars of a colour film which has just been released. The film shows the public how not only these gardeners, but A.R.Pworkers, schoolboys, hospital patients and housewives are joining in the “Dig for Victory” campaign in Britain’s 5,000,000 private gardens. It is probably the first garden newsreel, certainly the first in colour. A second colour film deals with vegetable pests, while a third about to-mato-growing will help British gardeners to replace the tomatoes usually imported from the Channel Isles. Shots of successful tomato growing on the roof of a cinema, in the yard of a public house and outside shops are shown in this film. Lecturers are on tour with the films answering questions put by audiences. Last year they had 800 meetings in large towns and small villages, where they spoke to 50,000 people.
