WOOD’S TREATED TOBACCO SEEDS 
WOOD’S TOBACCO SEEDS are all treated as recommended by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station 
at Blacksburg. This treatment is to prevent wildfire, black fire, angular leaf 
spot and other tobacco diseases. 
CULTURE. — A very clean piece 
of land is best for the tobacco 
plant beds, hence it is customary 
to burn a piece of land in the 
woods for plant beds. This de¬ 
stroys grass, weeds and insects, 
adds fertility through the action 
of the wood ashes, and leaves the 
ground in good order. The seeds 
are sown about February and pro¬ 
tected by plant-bed cloth to keep 
off tobacco flies. When large 
enough and weather is settled 
(about Juno), set the plants out in 
highly manured or fertilized soil 
in 3^4-foot rows, 3 feet between 
the plants. Constant care must be 
given, cultivating, suckering, 
worming, etc. 
One Ounce Will Sow 50 
Yards. 
FOR TOBACCO WORMS ap¬ 
ply either arsenate of lead or 
paris green with one of the dust 
guns offered on pag'e 90. They 
apply the insecticides perfect¬ 
ly and the cost is small when 
it is remembered that they will 
last for years.
