42 TOBACCO LEAF. 



ZIMMER'S SPANISH. Much like Wilson's Hybrid 

 Havana. Generally grown in the Miami valley, in Ohio, 

 and also in Wisconsin. 



NEW VARIETIES. 



Since 1880, the following new varieties for the grow- 

 ing of yellow and mahogany manufacturing leaf have 

 been originated by cross-fertilization. 



RAGLAND'S CONQUEROR. Grown in Virginia, North 

 Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. This 

 is now a standard variety. 



BONANZA. A White Burley cross on the Yellow 

 Orinoco, said to possess the qualities of both parents ; 

 beautifully blended, and very popular with manufactur- 

 ers, being tougher than the White Burley, and more 

 porous than the Orinoco ; very hardy. 



SAFRANO. A cross of the Hyco on White Burley. 

 The color resembles the saffron rose, it being a rich saf- 

 fron color ; it has a soft, silky texture, and delightful 

 flavor. 



GOLD FINDER. Another cross of the Yellow Ori- 

 noco and the White Burley. It is almost as white as 

 the White Burley, and has the shape and habits of 

 growth of the Orinoco. 



BULLION. A White Burley cross on the Hester ; a 

 broad leafed, stately plant, well formed and fine fibered. 

 It resembles the Hester in habit, but the leaves are 

 larger and grow farther apart on the stalk. It has a 

 fine texture and great absorptive capacity. 



CLIMAX. A cross of the White Burley on the Ster- 

 ling. This has not been much tried, but it is thought 

 to be an acquisition to the bright list. 



RAGLAND'S IMPROVED YELLOW ORINOCO has been 

 more extensively planted in recent years for the yellow 

 type than any other variety. In its habit of growth it 

 does not differ very much from the Yellow Orinoco.
