TOBACCO. 



Tobacco will grow in almost any location, but the best 

 results are obtained from light, rich soil which will not 

 bear a rank growth. The seed- bed should be thoroughly 

 made, and the ground well pulverized, before sowing the 

 seed, which should be firmly ])ressed into the soil. Sow 

 thinly, in order^that the ])laMts may have sufficient room 

 to grow stocky. After the plants are sufficiently strong 

 transplant to the field where they are to grow. The 

 plants should be well cultivated, care being exercised not 

 to run too close to the plant and destroy the fibrous rflots. 

 As tobacco is verj' sensitive to early and late iVosts, it 

 should be covered on cold nights with waterproof muslin, 

 which will kee)) off several degrees of frost. The varieties 

 we offer are the best and most reliable. Boole on Tobacco
