De 4.71 acres met Connecticut-Havana-tabak onder schaduw 
brachten totaal 6439 pond tabak op, d.i. gemiddeld 1 367 pond 
per acre. 
Aan het Agricultural Dept’s Report 1 ) ontleen ik de volgende 
bijzonderheden: 
»The Department’s experts estimate that the tobacco cost on 
»an average of 51 1 / 2 cents per pound baled and ready for mark et. 
»The ordinary tobacco grown in the open fields in Connecticut 
»brings on an average from 18 to 20 cents per pound. The 
»average price for the shade grown tobacco was $ 1.20 per 
»pound; the price varying from $ 2.80 per pound for the best 
»to 25 cents per pound for some of the mixed bales. The 
»crop that brought the best price sold for $ 1.63 per pound on 
the average.
