STATE CERTIFIES 
FIRST TOBACCO | 
Five strains, all seedleaf Tobacco and all 
grown in Lancaster County, appear on the 
first list of certified Tobacco in Pennsylvania’s 
long Tobacco-growing history. Foundation 
seed was produced last year and enough is 
assured to meet 1951 demands. 
All those listed by the State Department 
of Agriculture as eligible for certification 
were tested for several years at the Tobacco 
Experimental Laboratory, near Lancaster, 
which is operated by Pennsylvania’s agricul- 
tural experiment station. ‘Those on the first 
list are: 
SWARR-HIBSCHMAN. A _ consistently 
high-yielding strain of cigar leaf that 
averaged 1766 pounds per acre in 7-year 
ESS. 
GREIDER. A cigar-leaf Tobacco of upright 
growth habit, with somewhat narrower 
leaves than Swarr-Hibschman, but pro- 
ducing a high percentage of wrappers due 
to superior quality of lower leaves. 
SWARR. A popular strain that usually 
produces excellent quality tobacco but is 
susceptible to black root-rot and often 
makes poor early growth. However, it 
has provided the basis for several improved 
strains. 
HOLBEIN. In 3-year tests this proved the 
best of farmers’ selections and has leaves 
unlike other seedleaf strains. “These leaves 
have a long, oval shape with narrow butt 
and sharp tip, but cure well and maintain 
a compact growth. 
RED ROSE. A leading strain in eastern 
Lancaster County. Very broad, short and 
rather blunt leaves compactly spaced on 
the stalk. Yield is sometimes affected by 
black root-rot,
