COMMERCIAL USES OF THE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF TOBACCO. 



Florida Sumatra tobacco is used almost exclusively as a wrapper 

 for domestic cigars. In the southern districts the thick or broken 

 leaves may be cured for filler purposes. 



Florida Cuban is essentially a filler tobacco for domestic cigars, 

 although much desirable wrapper is produced from this type in the 

 southern districts. 



Connecticut Havana is grown entirely for wrapper and binder 

 purposes for domestic cigars. 



Ohio Zimmer Spanish is used exclusively for tiller for domestic 

 cigars. 



North Carolina Bright Yellow is used for pipe smoking, chewing, 

 and cigarettes. The most valuable leaves are those used for wrappers 

 for plug tobacco and for all-tobacco cigarettes. This type was for- 

 merly grown almost wholly for the domestic market, but now a con- 

 siderable export trade is maintained with England. Japan, and other 

 countries. 



Maryland Smoking tobacco was formerly used to a large extent for 

 domestic pipe smoking, but the principal market is in two or three of 

 the ''Regie'" countries, France taking the bulk of the crop. 



The Tennessee types are principally exported. 



The Virginia types are used to a very large extent in the domestic 

 markets for smoking and chewing tobaccos and snuff. Considerable 

 quantities, however, are exported, especially the heavier and cheaper 

 grades. 



Kentucky AVhite Burley is used for pipe smoking, chewing, and 

 cigarettes. The bulk of the crop is consumed in our domestic mar- 

 kets, but considerable quantities are exported.
