Teasle Harvest 

August 17th 1948 Bridgwater Mercury

Unusual Harvest – At the farm of Mr N. T. Small, of Thornfalcon, Teasles are once more being grown this year. Teasles are used in the textile factories of the North for raising "nap" on cloth, and so far no substitute has been found for doing this. The teasle harvest of this country is confined to a small area of Somerset, the whole crop being sent for use in the woollen mills.
