narrow. For heavy stemming: Lacks, Yellow Mam- 

 moth, Beat-All, Orinoco Broadleaf, Blue Pryor, Mor- 

 row and Kentucky Yellow. For mahogany wrappers, 

 cutters, fillers and bright smokers, the same varieties 

 are grown as for yellow tobacco, though some growers 

 believe that a greater proportion of good wrappers is 

 made from some of the new varieties bred by Mr. Rag- 

 land. Among those most heartily commended are : 

 Conqueror, Eagland's Improved Yellow Orinoco, Bullion 

 and the Long Leaf Gooch. It should always be remem- 

 bered that varieties grown, even for specific purposes, 

 will do better on some soils than on others. And every 

 planter ought to test several varieties on his farm, in 

 order to ascertain just which will give the best results, 

 quality, quantity and demand considered.
