DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



TOBACCO. 



Tobacco will grow iu almost any location, but the best 

 results ar« 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 pressed into the soil. Sow 

 thinly, in order that tlie plants may have sufficient room 

 to grpw stocky. AftT the ])!ants are sufficiently strong 

 transplant to the field \yhere they are to grow. The 

 plants should be well cultivated, care being exercised not 

 to run too close to the phuit and destroy the fibrous roots. 

 As tobacco is very sensitive to early and late frosts, it 

 should be covered on cold nights with waterproof muslin, 

 which will keep oflF several degrees of frost. The varieties 

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