New York Tobacco Leaf.
In all soils where the roots Of the plant
reach to stagnant water only poor results
can be obtained. . 20 .><4
All kinds Of soil in which the process OF
decomposition goes on quickly, especially
sandy, marty and limy soils, can be de-
voted profitably to tobacco culture for
many years, provided sufficient amount
of fertilizers can be added.
In loose, sandy soils, which, however,
contain good deal of humus, and with a
permeable subsoil, the stalks Of the plant
are somewhat small, with rather weak
and tender leaves, and the product as a
rule is more aromatic than in other kiuds
Of loamy soils.
A loamy sandy soil, with a sufficient
loamy subsoil, and is so placed as not to
get swampy, produces a rich harvest Of
large, firm, well-ribbed leaves, which are
quite suitable for cigar wrappers. The
finest and richest snuff tobacco is OBJ
tanned by culture on lime or marly clay
soil, which is we'll underdrained or has
good natural drainage.
Muck soils which contain more or less
acid hamus produce indeed large leaves,
but of fiimsy texture; light, without
much color, difficult to burn and fit only
for the more common forms Of tobacco in
use. Long culture imp, owes the quality
Of the product, but does not wholly i'm
prove the poor burning.
In some parts of Florida where the soil
is almost a pure sand, tobacco has been
grown that bids air to rival that of Gu
ban origin. The physical state of the
soil in respect Of tobacco culture can be
much improved by the judicious use Of
fertilizers, among which potash stands
pre-eminent.
The news from Cuba is to the effec
that suitable tobacco of the old crop Id
very scarce and unusu,lly high-priced Ia
consequence. In fact, some wrappers and
fiilers bring fabulous priceS and must
necessarily make di6ersnce In the cost
IN price of cigars ere long. The new
crop in the Vuelta Abajo district Is very
late, md because of lack Of rain for . long
time past in soma places ps.or. Present
indications are that the crop Of wrapper
tobacco this year will not exceed so per
cent. of last years crop, bnt what the j
y will befof very fine quality This nsws
~ authentic, as II comes from experts
who have visited oil the tobacco districts.
