Tlie aim tial specks of tobacco, like the annual species of almost all dicotyledonous plants, may be grown in every countiy and climate; because every country lias a sum- mer, and that is the season of life for annual plants. In hot, diy, and short summers, like those of the north of Russia and Sweden, to- l)acco plants will not attain a large size, but the tobacco produced will be of delicate quality and good flavour: in long, moist, and not very warm summers, such as those of Ireland, tlie plants will attain a very large size, per- Iiaps as much so as in 'Virginia, but the to- bacco produced will not have that superior flavour, whicli can only be given by abundance of clear sunshine, and free dry air. By a skilful manufacture, and probably by mixing the to- bacco of cold countries with that of hot coun- tries, by using different species, and perhaps by selecting particular varieties of the Virginian species, the defects in flavour arising from cli- mate may, it is likely, be greatly remedied, 6131.
