400 SPANISH TOBACCO, 
suited for cigar wrappers. A considerable portion is adapted 
for other uses, and it is in some respects a good cutting 
tobacco. When in fine condition, Hungarian leaf burns 
freely and leaves a clean, light-colored ash. No variety of 
tobacco grown in Europe is attracting more notice than this, 
and if good leaf tobacco suitable for cigars can be grown, 
American tobacco will diminish in proportion. Hungarian 
tobacco is a favorite with the Italians, and large quantities 
are sold to the Italian monopoly to be used both for cigars 
and cutting. 
SPANISH TOBACCO. 
For several years the growers of tobacco in the Connecticut 
valley have directed their attention towards the production 
of a tobacco possess- 
ing all of the excel- 
lencies of both 
wrapper and filler; 
in other words, if 
possible securing a 
leaf of light color 
and fine texture and 
good flavor, so as to 
combine all of. the 
desirable features 
and qualities of 
tobacco in one varie- 
ty. Some few years 
since the Depart- 
ment of Agriculture 
at Washington dis- 
tributed a variety 
of tobacco seed 
among the Connecticut tobacco growers known by the name 
of Spanish tobacco. 
It has been tested by many of the largest tobacco growers 
in Connecticut, and found to be one of the best varieties of 
the plant ever cultivated in the valley. The plant grows to 
SPANISH TOBACCO.
