TOBACCO.

seed-vessels are ovoid, more depressed at the top than 

 those of the Connecticut Seed-leaf, and much more prolific ; 

 seeds small, brownish. 



The Green Tobacco is early, and remarkably hardy, but 

 not generally considered worthy 

 of cultivation in localities where 

 the Connecticut Seed-leaf can be 

 successfully grown. It is well 

 adapted to the northern parts of 

 New England and the Canadas, 

 where it will yield an abundance 

 of foliage, and perfect its seeds. 

 "It is very generally cultivated, 

 almost to the exclusion of the other 

 species, in the north of Germany, 

 Russia, and Sweden, where almost 

 every cottager grows his own to- 

 bacco for smoking. It also seems 

 to be the principal sort grown in 

 Ireland." 



There are several varieties, all 

 of which have the hardiness and Green Tobacco * 



productiveness common to the species, but are not consid- 

 ered remarkably well flavored. 



The plants should be started in spring, and transplanted 

 as directed for the Connecticut Seed-leaf ; but, on account 

 of its smaller size and habit, two feet, or even twenty 

 inches, between the plants, will be all the space required.
