manufacture of cigars, where they are associated with the tobacco of delicate aroma 

 used as fillers. 



Neither was any classification made, with the exception of an unimportant lot 

 of rejected tobacco, into leaves absolutely intact, those in good condition and 

 those torn by the wind. All the leaves harvested were regarded as intact. One must 

 also .take into consideration, therefore, the care taken in harvesting the crop both on 

 the plantation and in the stripping room. As the proportion of torn leaves increases, 

 that of the leaves suitable for binders diminishes. 



We have simply attempted to show the relative value of the^varieties tested for 

 use as binders.

Most of these demands gave rise to correspondence or th'e sending of- circulars 

 treating of the variety of tobacco asked for.
