What a gem. Published around 1950 and based on the initiative of the Rev. Hugh Cuthbertson, this slim volume contains the knowledge and experience of amateur tobacco growers of the time. Wow.



Looks like I have some reading to do!

I will look into doing so - there is a lot of optimised info here compressed into a small space, the essentials and no waste. While it is beyond me, physically, to start cultivating and producing, nobody should be denied the info to have the best chance.

@SmokeyJock - Here's another one: Get an allotment. Even if you end up not growing tobacco, it's a good, healthy occupation, you can grow stuff you can't get in the shops (or more expensive than you're willing to buy), and you get to meet some interesting people. And have you seen this?
