Love. The work includes advice on growing tobacco pp. 11-21 as well as recipes and instructions for curing it. The present edition includes a form bound at the front which obliged the purchaser to pay the author fifty dollars unless the purchaser complied with these terms: "not to impart or disclose to any one save those employed by me in the curing of my own Tobacco any information touching the curing of Tobacco embodied in said book and not to cure by said process any Tobacco but my own." The pamphlet is dated based on this form which has the partially printed date "192_." The pamphlet includes a multitude of testimonials from farmers pp. 24-30 dated 1880-1884 apparently reproduced from the first edition of the work. Franklin P. Love 1850-1925 was a native of Pittsylvania County Virginia and it was there that the book was written. By the time the present edition was printed he had moved to Asheville North Carolina and his mailing address near that city is given on the front wrap. On the last page and on the rear wrap is a "Notice" advertising Love's various services as a veterinary surgeon. RARE.
