TOBACCO 
(Tabaco) 
Culture: A clean plece 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 34-ft. 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; 0z., 50c; % Ib., 
$1.50, postpaid. 
Avoid Disappointment 
Avoid disappointment and possible 
failure when you plant. Cover seeds to 
the proper depth with well prepared soil 
and press down firmly and smoothly. 
The soil should always be moist, but 
never wet when avoidable. Your ground 
should be soft so that the young seed- 
lings can break through and the young 
roots find plant food. 
Do your part—Good seed will help do 
the rest.
