TOBACCO 
(Tabaco) 
Culture: A clean piece of soil is best for 
Tobacco Plant beds, hence it is customary to 
burn a piece of land for this use. Insects, 
grass and weed seeds are thus destroyed and 
the burning adds to the fertility of the soil. 
Cover seed very lightly, and when plants are 
large enough, set in rows, 3 feet be¬ 
tween the plants. 
449— WHITE BURLEY. A heavy yielder of 
rich bright leaf, large, long and broad. This 
variety thrives on limestone soil. 
450— VIRGINIA. A good chewing tobacco, 
also used for ■ fillers and wrappers. Rich in 
color. 
Price of above. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; */4 lb., 
$1.50, postpaid. 
With every known precaution 
used and the best seed planted 
even then Nature may play 
some odd tricks—and the crops 
produced may not be up to par 
in quality. You know that it is 
BETTER and CHEAPER to 
plant the best seed obtainable 
from a firm with a known repu¬ 
tation for QUALITY. In doing 
this you are giving consideration 
to the UNSEEN ELEMENT and 
we will do everything possible to 
JUSTIFY THIS CONFIDENCE.
