VA. BRIGHT LEAF 
Virginia Bright Leaf, as its name indicates, is a 
bright cigarette type and a popular variety. It grows 
a leaf of superior quality but fewer pounds per acre 
than some of our other varieties. 
This tobacco has made a good record in the eastern 
section of the flue-cured belt and has done especially 
well on medium to lighter grades of tobacco soil. The 
quality and yield of Virginia Bright Leaf has been 
greatly improved by our breeders since we began 
working with it in 1929. This year’s strain cures to 
a good lemon color except when planted on heavier 
clay soils. The fibers in the leaves are smaller and a 
more uniform ripening has reduced blue butts to a 
minimum. 
PRICES: $1.00 per ounce; $7.00 per half pound; 
$13.00 per pound, postpaid.
