White Burley Tobacco. 
Tobacco Seed 
Located in Lexington, the center of the largest 
Tobacco growing section and where is situated 
the largest loose leaf Tobacco market in the 
world, we are particularly well situated to secure 
the finest types of Tobacco Seed. Our seed is 
carefully grown and saved from the center stems 
only. 
CULTURE. — Sow seed in February in a plant 
bed, which has been first thoroughly burned, and 
is protected with a thin cotton cloth. About the 
first of June set in rich highly fertilized ground 
in rows three and half by three feet. Use Brent’s 
Hemp and Tobacco Special Fertilizer. Cultivate 
often and worm and sucker as necessary. One 
ounce of seed sows fifty square yards sufficient 
to set two or three acres. 
We can offer the following varieties: 
White Burley, 
Red Burley. 
Stand-up Burley, 
Vuelta de Abajo, 
Big Havana, 
Connecticut Seed Leaf,

Fertilizers 
Our two brands have given satisfaction where- 
ever tried. 
The use of commercial fertilizers has increased 
enormously of late years throughout the country. 
Good fertilizers are recommended by all Agricul- 
tural Stations. The two brands we offer we be- 
lieve fill all requirements. 
Brent’s Tobacco Special 
Guaranteed Minimum Analysis Per 
cent. 
Available Phosphoric Acid 8.00 
Total Phosphoric Acid 12.00 
Nitrogen 2.47 
Potash, from sulphate 3.00 
For Tobacco, Hemp, and Gardens, 150 to 300 
pounds to the acre. 
Brent’s Grain Grower

cent. 
Available Phosphoric Acid 8.00 
Total Phosphoric Acid 10.00

The use of this fertilizer will not only increase 
the yield of the grain crops, but will also give 
splendid results on Grass and Clover crops that 
follow. 
The land is improved and put in better condi- 
• tion for any crop that follows its use. Broadcast 
I 400 to 500 pounds to acre and harrow in; in hills 
or drills 200 to 400 pounds. 
For corn if used in hills, a hand full to 2 or 3 
hills, scattering it so that the fertilizer will not 
come into direct contact with the seed.

DISKING LAND AT THE WRONG TIME CAUSE OP HEAVY LOSS TO FARMERS. 
Do not harrow or disk your land immediately after plowing — let it rest at least 12 to 
15 days, according to the season, to allow the air to penetrate, the weeds to rot, foul seeds 
to sprout, and the microbes to multiply; a process of fermentation called ripening, and with- 
out which you cannot have your land in proper physical condition; you can give your land 
the proper chemical condition at any time by simply applying your 2-8-2, 3-8-3, or other 
commercial fertilizers, but the proper physical condition cannot be obtained by sheer force; 
you cannot push it; it must have the required time to rise and ripen. 
After allowing this process of fermentation to take its course, your land is ready for 
disk or harrow. If the farmer neglects to give his land the opportunity of ripening, it should 
be no surprise to him to find the same sour, constipted and uncious; onions, cockerel and 
peas in his wheat field, cheat and onions in his oats, plantain and wild carrots in his clover, 
and weeds and grass everywhere.
