^0. 4. — Cigar variety. Smaller tlian No. 3. Ripens quite 

 yellow on stalk. 



^0, 5. — Plug variety. Greenish appearance, seems to fire 

 badly at bottom of stalk. I am inclined to the opinion that 

 the fertilizer used on this plot is too caustic, or it may be 

 due to too much rain for this soil. 



^o. g. —Evidently a plug variety. The fertilizer on this 

 plot seems to have acted fairly well for this kind, good size 

 growth, light Lea green color and at this date but little ripe. 



^o. 7. — This plot though not yet ripe, the indications are 

 that it will ripen yellow, and that the fertilizer used will 

 make yellow tobacco. 



jVo. 8. — Evidently a plug variety. At this date it is de- 

 cidedly larger, and greener in appearance than any of the 

 preceding plots. The fertilizer used is for extra large 

 stemming which this seems to be. 



JVo. 9. — Plug variety. Larger than No. 8 ; very large 

 stemming; dark green, and from the appearance the indica- 

 tions are that the fertilizer, in quantity and quality used, is 

 a complete fertilizer for large stemming tobacco. 



]^o. 10. — This plot quite large, dark green and shows that 

 the fertilizer used is suitable for a large dark tobacco. 



No. 11. — Plug variety. Medium size, beautiful yellow 

 color, and indicates that the fertilizer seems to be the kind 

 for making yellow tobacco. 



]^o. 12. — Tobacco good size ; light green, but little burnt 

 at bottom. Fertilizer seems to suit a dark tobacco. 



jVo. 13. — Very large ; ripening pale green, and the indica- 

 tions are that this application of fertilizer is very fine for 

 making a large tobacco suitable for stemming. 



JVb. 14. — Compares favorably with No. 13, and does not 

 seem to be superior to it. 



No. 15. — Medium size and compares favorably with No. 7, 

 with the exception of not being so bright. 



No 16. — Medium in size ; shows yellow tint in ripening. 



jVo. 17. — Large; green color, and shows color and size 

 for stemming.
