An old commission merchant who has /
sold Il great deal of loose tobacco, espe- /
cially of the One-sucker white-stcm, DC, .
varieties. notices the remarks of pr0mi- +.
ncnt gentlemen in the trade about one /
sucker tobacco, and says
HIS experience is that whilst an buy /
ers for stemming and hlaCk-wTappers .
condemn, i'm the strongest language, the .
variety, they never fail to pay
the very highest prices for this same va
riety in any fairly good tobacco year
The cost Of production being much less
than that of any other variety OF heavy
lark tObaccOs, makes il a fayOrite with
The farmers.
The white-stem, the medley-pri0r
Of q
lark tObaccOs have curl or ruile
around the end of the stem where it joins
III to the stalk partially surrounding the
stalk, just like a little shield making the
.ost of worming these varieties much
higher than that of the One-sucker. which,
speaking, is free from the
uflles and curls mentioned. Whilst
trictly speaking il is not one-sucker
obaccO, still this variety gives a great
.eal less trouble in breaking of the suck
rs, and therefore is much less expense
o cultivate
A prominent stemmer says One
