Excerpt from Tobacco Leaf, Its Culture and Cure, Marketing and Manufacture: A Practical Handbook on the Most Approved Methods in Growing, Harvesting, Curing, Packing and Selling Tobacco, Also of Tabacco Manufacture The object of the authors of this work is to give a comprehensive account of the tobacco industry in the United States, and its relations to other countries. Great efforts have been put forth to make exact and complete the directions for the culture, curing and marketing of the different kinds of leaf. The aim has been to make every chapter in the first three parts of the work essentially complete though it has not been possible, in our limited space, to undertake a technical description of all the intricate and manifold processes of manufacturing tobacco. The chapter on manures and fertilizers has been prepared with extraordinary care and fullness, owing to prevailing misconceptions upon this subject among both growers and the trade. The senior author has devoted years to the collection of facts and methods pertaining to the Heavy Shipping, Bright, Burley and Perique tobaccos, and has carefully verified disputed points by experimenting on his own plantation.
