Through the courtesy of Hon. f. H.
Funston we have received from the |
Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington, several packages of tobacco
seed of different varieties. AS we are |
not an adept in tobacco culture and
as we have moreover no ground i'm
which to plant these seeds, we will
ch eerfully agree to furnish them to |
any one who will agree to faithfully |
plant and cultivate them and give us |
half the crop. If any one thinks that
we are charging too much for distri- |

distribution, just let him say 30 and he
may have his share of the seeds for
nothing. We want everybody to be
satisfied.
