CERTIFIED 402 
These Certified 402 tobacco seed were produced on our 
farms from planting stock originally bred by the N. C. 
Tobacco Experiment Station, Oxford, N. C. 
402 is the result of a cross between Jamaica and 400. 7 
This variety possesses the vigor and size of the 400 parent. — 
The leaves are of the Jamaica type, but much broader. 
The cured leaf is relatively thin and predominantly luggy. 
The leaves of this variety are spaced a medium distance | 
on the stalk and grow with a yellowish cast, and, therefore, 
should be allowed to mature before harvesting. | 
PRICES: $1.00 per ounce, $7.50 per half pound, $14.00 per } 
pound, postpaid. } 

CERTIFIED 401 
These certified 401 tobacco seed were produced on 
our farms from planting stock bred and furnished by 
the N. C. Tobacco Experiment Station, Oxford, N. C. 
According to the originators of the 401 variety, it 
is the result of a cross between Cash and 400. The 
plants grow taller than some of the other standard 
varieties, and produce a fairly broad heavy leaf that 
is somewhat more pointed than the 400 parent. 
PRICES: $1.00 per ounce, $7.50 per half pound, $14.00 
per pound, postpaid. 
CERTIFIED 
YELLOW SPECIAL 
According to bulletin 346 of the Virginia Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station, the exact origin of this 
variety is not known, but it is supposed to have been 
selected from a cross between Harrison Special and a 
small-leafed variety, possibly Lizard Tail. It yields 
similar to 402, and, like this variety, grows with some- 
what of a yellowish cast which should be taken into 
consideration in priming. 
PRICES: $1.00 per ounce, $7.50 per half pound, $14.00 
per pound, postpaid. 
CERTIFIED OXFORD 26 
Oxford 26 was developed by the Tobacco Experiment 
Station at Oxford, N. C., from a cross between a Gran- 
ville wilt resistant introduction from Colombia, South 
America, and the 400 variety. This variety is recom- 
mended for planting on soils infested with the Granville 
wilt disease. The leaves are rather widely spaced on the 
stalk requiring about 25% more height to produce the 
same number of leaves as most of the standard va- 
rieties. Although the leaves are about the same size as 
those of Gold Dollar, they are shorter and broader 
being somewhat rounded in appearance. 
These certified Oxford 26 tobacco seed were produced 
on our farms from planting stock bred by the N. C. 
Tobacco Experiment Station, Oxford, N. C. 
PRICES: $1.00 per ounce, $7.50 per half pound, $14.00 
per pound, postpaid.
