Title-As ye sow.
The film opens in the garden and Betty is planting seeds in her greenhouse. She puts soil into a wooden box and then presses it down with an implement. She spreads more seeds onto the soil, puts a pane of glass over the box, and puts it on a shelf.
As time moves, on the camera shows how they have sprouted into seedlings. Betty then thins them out and puts half of them into new cases so that the others might grow. They are then watered. Later, the seedlings have now grown into colourful flowers.
The flowers are removed from the greenhouse and planted in the flowerbeds in their garden. A close-up shows bees on the different flowers. The film closes with views of the gardens flowers in full bloom on a sunny day.
Title-The End.
