VISITS HOLLAND
1: Aalsmeer
Horticulture has had an important share in the national economy of the Netherlands for several centuries and many of the latest developments are of interest to gardeners and horticulturists in this country.
The outstanding centre for flower growing is Aalsmeer where roses, carnations, and the forcing of lilacs are of the greatest importance. In addition, chrysanthemums, sweet peas, freesias, dahlias, Japanese lilies, and pot plants are grown.
ROY HAY visits the experimental station for floriculture and is shown round by the Director and his staff. Produced by John Greenslade

Part 6
It is now January 1867. Professor Aronnax, his servant Elbow, and the harpooner Ned Land are still on board the Nautilus. They have been Captain Nemo's prisoners for three-and-a-half months and have travelled nearly seven thousand leagues under the sea.
From time to time there is a tremendous concussion as the Nautilus rams a ship. Captain Nemo takes Aronnax and Elbow hunting in the forest on the bed of the ocean. They arc in breathing-machines and have lamps and electric guns.
