Tobacco—Tabak* 
(Nicotiana tabacum). 
It is estimated that one ounce of seed should produce enough plants for an 
acre, but it naturally depends very much on what luck you have with the seed beds.

TURKISH VARIETIES. 
We are pleased to be able to announce that we have concluded arrangements 
with Mr. L. M. Stella, the well-known Tobacco Expert, by which we will act as 
sole distributors of his famous Many leaf Turkish Tobacco seed. 
Growers of Turkish Tobacco will be well aware that Mr. Stella is the father 
of the Turkish Tobacco Industry in South Africa and has devoted his life practically 
to the development of the industry in this country. 
It follows that Mr. Stella is thoroughly acquainted with the requirements of 
the growers and that his selections of seed are the best that can be obtained. The 
seed is being grown on the farm of Mr. Stella’s son at Stellenbosch under his ex¬ 
pert supervision. 
Mr. Stella is not only in close touch with the Turkish Tobacco Industry in 
South Africa but also maintains close touch with the growers in Turkey by period¬ 
ical visits to that country. Thus it must be obvious to South African growers that Mr. 
Stella is in a peculiarly favourable position, owing to the very wide experience he 
has of Tobacco growing in this country and in Turkey, in making selections of the 
very best seed and his advice on this point should be rated very high indeed. 
We offer the new season’s seed at the following prices:— F. 
Stella’s Manyleaf Soulook Turkish Tobacco. —Finest selected South Africau 
grown seed. Per oz 2/-; £lb 7/6; £lb 14/-; lb 27/6. 
Imported Soulook Turkish Tobacco. —We have only a few ounces of Imported 
Seed which we offer at 7/6 per oz. 
FIVE PER CENT. CAN BE DEDUCTED IF CASH IS SENT WITH ORDER.
