WOOD'S CERTIFIED TOBACCO SEEDS 
It is customary to burn a piece of land in the woods for plant beds. This destroys grass, weeds and insects, adds fertility through the action of 
the wood ashes, and leaves the ground in good order. The seeds are sown about February and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off tobacco 
flies. When large enough and weather is settled (about June), set the plants out in highly manured or fertilized soil in 3!/2-foot rows, 3 feet be- 
tween the plants. Constant care must be given, cultivating, suckering, worming, etc. 
plant 100 to 150 square yards of plant bed.
