Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents the reader with 275 named varieties of tobacco, along with photos and descriptions. It represents less than 10% of the named tobacco varieties. But 275 is a lot to choose from. Included in these pages are available representatives of each of the USDA market classes of Nicotiana tabacum: flue-cured, burley, Maryland, cigar wrapper, cigar binder, cigar filler, dark air-cured, dark fire-cured, Hungarian, Oriental and primitives. It also includes examples of Nicotiana rustica and ornamental varieties. These 275 entries exceed the number of tobacco varieties grown by most tobacco growers in an entire lifetime.
