A bright leaf variety, 'Harrison Pryor' is a "flue-cured" market class tobacco historically used for cigarette blending. The plants grows to about fifty-one inches tall when topped, or can reach six feet when allowed to develop its attractive pink flowers.
Its leaves are broadest at the middle and narrower at the two equal ends, with the length approximately twice the width. Typical leaves are thirteen inches wide by twenty-seven inches long. Similar to 'Pinkney Arthur'.[2]
Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552313 and was sent to us by David Pendergrass from Tennessee.
Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have uses apart from consumption. This section of the website is intended for the historical and informational purposes of thinking adults. Anyone who has been raised since the turn of the 20th century already knows that tobacco can be addictive and can contribute to various medical ailments. If you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start. We in no way encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.
