from the other in points of excellence, but all belonging 

 to the same type. 



A district may produce only one type, which may 

 be referred to several classes ; that is, it may be suitable 

 for exportation, for chewing, smoking, or the making 

 of snuff. 



A district may produce many types of the same 

 class, as in New England, where several types of seed- 

 leaf and Havana seed are grown, yet all belong to the 

 class of cigar tobacco and are used solely for that pur- 

 pose. A district may also produce only one class of one 

 type.

 , 1880 has given the greatest satisfaction to the tobacco 

 trade, and it is appended below, with a few changes ren- 

 dered necessary by changes in demand. It must be 

 observed, however, that many of these classes are 

 interchangeable.
