Tobacco 
In the north it is best to sow tobacco in a hotbed or in a box in the house in March or April and transplant the 
seedlings once before setting out in the open ground, which should not be done until danger of frost is past. Set 
the plants in rows 3 Vz feet apart. 
CONNECTICUT SEED LEAP—Grown principally for 
the manufacture of cigars. Hardy, prolific, and 
well suited to production in the North and Central 
States. 
HAVANA—An early variety used largely for cigar 
wrappers, on account of the thinness and fine 
quality of the large leaves. Often planted in fields 
artifically shaded. 
WHITE BURLEY—A prolific sort, with long, broad, 
attractive leaves; used for fillers and wrappers.

Tomatoes 
(Pomo d'ore. Tomate, Liebesapfel, Tomate) 
CULTURE —Days indicated represents the time required from the setting of plants to produce marketable fruits. 
One ounce of seed should produce 2,000 plants. Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil. Success de- 
P ends in a large measure upon securing a rapid, vigorous, unchecked growth during the early part of the season. 
or first early tomatoes select varieties of the earliest types, and start the plants under glass in hot beds or green¬ 
houses during February and March. When the plants are about 2 inches high they should be transplanted to flats, 
pots or plant boxes. Never crowd the plants, but keep them short and stocky. Plants already in bloom if in pots or 
boxes may be transplanted to the open ground without disturbing their roots, and will continue to bloom and fruit 
without check. When danger from frost has passed, set the plants in the field in rows about 4 feet apart each way, 
in warm, mellow soil of fair fertility. For main crop the plants can be started somewhat later in hot beds or cold 
frames and then set in the open ground the same as the early varieties. Tomatoes require very little water, just 
enough to keep them in good growing condition; too much water will cause them to blight. Cultivate often and 
thoroughly as long as the vines will permit. The last two or three workings of the soil should be shallow or the crop 
may be badly injured.

and cross-sections; color light scarlet. Highly valuable
