The Tobacco Plant and Its Cultivation - A Collection of Historical Articles on the Varieties, Growth and Harvesting of Tobacco PlantsPaperback, 1 June 2011

"The Tobacco Plant and its Cultivation" is a collection of classic articles on the subject of tobacco. The articles cover a variety of topics including the history of the plants use, its cultivation, contemporary industry, popularity, effects on the body, and more. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in the history of tobacco use and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Soverne Herbe - A History of Tobacco, by W. A. Penn", "Home Tobacco-Craft", "About Tobacco and Deleterious Effects - A Book for Everybody, Both Users and Non Users", and "The American Farm Book; Or, Compend of American Agriculture, by R. L. Allen". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on agriculture and agronomy.
