PLATE IXa. WHITE BURLEY (topped). 



This is a picture of a plant of this variety somewhat different from 

 the plant shown in Plate IX, although belonging to the narrow- 

 leaf variety and finer type of the White Burley. It is grown on a 

 field having a typical blue grass soil, in Fayette county, Kentucky, 

 well suited to the growth of White Burley. This plant was 3J feet 

 high; top leaf, 28 inches long and 8 inches wide; middle leaves, 

 31x9 inches.
