Slate’s G-ood Seeds and Prompt Service, South Boston, Virginia 
Bright Tobaccos 
FOR THE FLUE-CURED BELT OF VA., N. C., 
S. C. } GA., and FLA. 
3009—CASH. —We obtained this variety some 
years ago from the North Carolina Experiment 
Station and have found it to be an excellent bright 
sort for the Piedmont section of Virginia, North 
Carolina, and certain sections of South Carolina 
and Georgia. It is of the Adcock type but more 
reliable than Adcock in our opinion. The leaf is 
wide, of medium length and on the average soil 
does not grow so large. We have found it easy to 
cure into a medium thin bright that commands good 
prices. It is not so brittle as Adcock, nor does it 
disease as readily. We consider this one of the 
leading introductions to the bright class of the past 
few years.

Treated Seed—Oz. 75c, *4 lb. $2.25, lb. $6.00. 
3014— VIRGINIA BRIGHT LEAF— A standard 
sort that has been given a new name. It is a safe 
and reliable sort for a wide range of soils in the 
bright belt. Grows rather tall, with wide leaf of 
good length and cures easily into a bright smoking 
type of tobacco. Especially recommended for the 
sandy soils of Georgia and the Carolinas. It may 
be topped high for a thin bright or low to produce 
a leaf of good weight and body.

Treated Seed.—Oz. 60c, % lb. $1.75, lb. $5.00. 
3005— WARNE. —This is one of the best bright 
flue-cured tobaccos known to us. It is adapted to a 
wide range of soils and produces a good crop over 
the entire bright tobacco belt of Virginia, North 
Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Leaves are 
long, medium broad, and taper to a sharp point. It 
is of fine texture, good curing qualities, and a safe 
variety in every respect.

3016—IMPROVED YELLOW PRYOR.— For thii* 
or medium fertile sandy soils in the eastern bright 
belt, there are few varieties that will pay better 
than this one. It is naturally a heavy tobacco, but 
on sandy soils makes just enough weight to cure 
good and when grown on such soils, it is easy to 
cure and makes the very highest class of bright 
leaf. Leaf is medium long, rather broad, of very 
fine texture, and good weight. 
Oz. 50c, 14 lb. $1.50, lb. $4.00, postpaid. 
Treated Seed—Oz. 60c, *4 lb. $1.75, lb. $5.00. 
3020—JAMAICA WRAPPER. — An excellent 
bright tobacco for sandy soils that is very popular in 
certain sections of North Carolina. The leaf is broad, 
of medium length, and runs to a sharp tip. It makes 
good weight and is easily cured a bright yellow.

3008— IMPROVED WHITE STEM ORONOKO.— 
This is one of the oldest varieties of tobacco now in 
cultivation. Years ago it was a leading bright sort 
and it still makes good crops under proper condi¬ 
tions, but when growing conditions are not right, 
it will sometimes cure red or mahogany instead of 
yellow. The leaf is rather long, wide, and of fine 
texture. It has good weight and is very well adapt¬ 
ed to thin clay soils.

3002—SLATE’S IMPROVED BIG WARNE.— 
One of the best bright sorts for Virginia, North 
Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia. The leaves 
are long, medium broad, and well spaced on the 
stalk. For thin or medium soils, this makes an ideal 
variety, but on rich land it may grow rather rough. 
Cures into a bright yellow leaf with good weight 
and fine texture.

3010— BONANZA. —Of recent years this name 
has been applied to a good strain of Hickory Pryor. 
It is not a new variety but the name has become 
very popular in certain sections, so we list it for 
the information of those who wish to obtain what 
is called Bonanza in some sections of North Caro¬ 
lina, South Carolina, and Georgia. We prefer to 
sell it under its true name of Hickory Pryor which 
you will see listed. 
3034— HICKORY PRYOR. — A bright tobacco 
noted for its high color and heavy weight. On 
sandy soils where it is hard to obtain good weight, 
this makes an ideal sort. Leaf is medium long, 
broad, and tapering to sharp tip. Fine texture, 
well spaced on stalk, and easily cured.

VERMOREL DUSTER 
The finest large capacity duster we have ever 
seen. One man with one of these can dust a large 
acreage in a day with very little effort. It does 
not have any cranking. Just pushing a small lever 
up and down with the thumb produces the power to 
throw a cloud of dust. Made of tin with nothing 
to wear out except a small leather bellows cap, 
which is easily replaced. Can be adjusted to any 
feed and is as good for tall as for low crops. Is 
carried on the back like a knapsack, thus making 
the load easier to handle. Capacity, ten to fifteen 
lbs. of dust. Price—$15.00 each, f.o.b. here.
