Abstract
THIS little book will serve as an important guide to farmers in conducting experiments in the cultivation of tobacco. It gives a detailed account of the origin of the movement for determining whether tobacco could be relied upon as a farm crop in Great Britain, and, if so, whether it could be cultivated to yield a profit to the grower. These two questions, it is maintained, have been answered in the affirmative by the results of last year's experiments, but this conclusion is founded more upon the appearance of the plants than upon actual results in the production of good commercial tobacco.
