“CERTIFIED TOBACCO SEED 
Penna. Certified Tobacco Seed 
All from Seedleaf Tobacco grown and 
certified in Lancaster County. Foundation 
seed produced by Department of Agriculture 
at Tobacco Experimental Laboratory near 
Lancaster. The following are the varieties 
available this spring. 
SWARR-HIBSCHMAN. A _ consistently 
high-yielding strain of cigar leaf that 
averaged 1766 pounds per acre in 7-year 
tests. 
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.
