spacing of plants about two inches closer together 
in the row and the rows about six inches closer than 
with other broad-leaf varieties. 
WIDELY ADAPTED—UNIFORM RIPENING 
Golden Cure has a good root system, providing 
maximum storm resistance and feeding ability. It 
will ripen and cure better on tobacco soils of the 
heavier or stiffer type than other broad-leaf varieties. 
It has rather high resistance to leaf spotting diseases 
usually encountered in wet weather or in late season. 
On average soils, about 1200 pounds of 3-9-6 ferti- 
lizer produces the maximum in yield and quality.
