NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN
Dear Sir:
I am sending for your identification specimens
of tobacco plants, seed of which originally came from
Honduras. This tobacco, which grows wild in Honduras,
has numerous small leaves, and white blossoms somewhat
smaller than the pink-flowered, cultivated American
varieties of N. tabacum. Any information concerning this
species of tobacco will be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
(SIGNED) H. A. Allard
Assistant Physiologist.
