And I must first help it grow beyond its seed-leaf stage, gently removing the weeds that clutter the soil around it … giving it my energy and attention before harvesting the fruit. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The seedlings are subject to the attacks of turnip fly, which is a terrible foe to them in the seed-leaf stage; in fact, the plants are sometimes up and gone before danger is suspected. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
The plant bears a pink blossom, which is succeeded by capsules not quite as large as those of seed-leaf tobacco. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)
The tobacco sheds for hanging the tobacco cured by air-drying, are built of the same material without trenches, as smoke is not employed in curing "seed-leaf" tobacco. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)
By the simple process of spraying the plant three or four times a day, until it is out of the seed-leaf, and the danger is over, it is possible in the garden to wash out the = Haltica =; and any kind of insecticide or flavouring, such as quassia, may be mingled with the water to render the plants distasteful to the insects. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
In gardens near towns, where the land is at all heavy, it is generally useless to sow after August, as the autumnal fogs are likely to destroy a plant that is only just out of the seed-leaf. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
The stalk and leaves are not as large as its great rival, Connecticut seed-leaf, but it far surpasses it in flavor. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)
This was the name given to cigars made some forty or fifty years ago composed of Connecticut seed-leaf, or as it was then called, American tobacco. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)
A very good cigar, call a "sprig cigar," is made from Havana and Connecticut seed-leaf filler wound with a seed wrapper which gives a good flavor similar to clear Havana. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)
= = -- It is advisable to sow Turnips in drills on a fine tilth, and it is an advantage to have a sufficiency of some stimulating manure near the surface to hurry the growth of the young plant, for the danger of fly belongs to the seed-leaf stage. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
In the perfect state this winged jumping insect makes havoc of the rising plant of Turnips, but the crop is only in danger while in the seed-leaf stage. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
The plants should be cut for use while in the seed-leaf; as, when much developed, they become strong, rank, and ill-flavored. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)
The cotyledons are tender and tasty, perhaps sugary from Nature's process of malting; and while the seed-leaf is assailable the = Haltica = makes the best of the shining hour. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
One precaution is to insure a quick germination of the seed and strong growth of the plant in its seed-leaf stage. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
I bought what was called a seed-leaf cigar with a Connecticut wrapper. ❋ Unknown (1910)
Monocotyledons, or Monocotyledonous PlantsPlants in which the seed sends up only a single seed-leaf (or cotyledon); characterised by the absence of consecutive layers of wood in the stem (endogenous growth), by the veins of the leaves being generally straight, and by the parts of the flowers being generally in multiples of three. ❋ Unknown (1909)
The seedlings should be transplanted, as soon as they can be handled, into boxes or pots containing the same mixture of soil, setting each plant down to the seed-leaf. ❋ Unknown (1906)
The Pennsylvania seed-leaf outstrips the Connecticut in size and weight, but owing to its requiring a longer time to mature in, is not so well adapted to climates north of 41° or 42°. ❋ John Donald (1881)
The best variety for cultivation in a high northern latitude is the Connecticut seed-leaf, as it ripens two weeks earlier than most any other variety, cures and colors better, and commands the highest price in the market. ❋ John Donald (1881)
One seed-leaf – a sort of compound of what the first should have been and what it was – with a cluster of other and true leaves, as if first, second, and third had got all mixed up, and so came out in a hurry together. ❋ Unknown (1872)
