Fertilizing Cigar Leaf Tobaceo 
For Bigger Yields and Better Burning Quality 
A good cigar depends upon its burning quality 
and flavor for its reputation. Leaf tobacco for 
making a good cigar must be of the best quality, 
must hold fire well, not bum too fast or too slowly. 
It must not coal on the cigar and it must leave a 
clear white or light gray ash, not a muddy ash. 
Cigar smokers everywhere are complaining about 
the quality of the cigar being made today. Man¬ 
ufacturers cannot make good cigars unless they get 
good tobacco, and that is where the grower comes in. 
LEAF WISE 
No matter how old a man is, if he is wise, he can 
still acquire more wisdom. No matter how old a 
grower is, he can still acquire more wisdom about 
a tobacco leaf. 
The tobacco plant, perhaps more than any 
other plant, can be and is influenced for better or 
worse by proper or improper fertilization. In 
applying fertilizer, the grower must have two 
essential things in mind: 1, to preserve the pro- 
ductivness of his soil and 2, to produce leaf that 
has the most desirable qualities, namely, BURN— 
GRAIN—TEXTURE and COLOR. This is a 
large order, but it can be successfully met by 
growers carefully studying the right fertilizers to 
use.

Blue Label Brand Fertilizer 
In this brand we use 1000 lbs. of C. S. Meal in 
each ton. C. S. Meal has long been recognized as a 
basic ingredient for tobacco fertilizer freeing its 
plant food as it decomposes in the soil and feeding 
the plant to maturity. The phosphoric acid and 
potash are derived from high grade sources and 
every precaution is taken to keep out all elements 
that might react unfavorably on finished leaf.

O. & W. High Grade Tobacco 
Starter 
This high grade starter has been used with 
conspicuous success by some of our best growers 
in the valley. We recommend that it be applied 
after the first time hoeing. At that critical stage 
of growth an abundant supply of quickly available 
nitrogen enables the plant to get a vigorous start, 
overcome and grow away from any unfavorable 
condition that may exist. 
Experience has taught us that the crop that 
grows quickly, vigorously and does not stop until 
it reaches maturity produces the best goods.

O. & W. High Grade Tobacco 
Starter and Potash Compound 
This formula with 5 per cent quickly soluble 
Nitrogen and 15 per cent actual Potash should be 
used with C. S. Meal or Castor Pomace in growing 
the tobacco crop and when so used makes a com¬ 
plete fertilizer. The Nitrogen of C. S. Meal or 
Pomace is slow acting and on most lands a more 
quickly soluble form of Nitrogen is needed to start 
the crop. We recommend using 1000 to 1500 lbs. 
per acre with a ton of C. S. Meal or Pomace.
