History of tobacco brought to Spain for its flowers, but "Now we use it to a greater extent for the sake of its virtues than for its beauty". John Hawkins was the first to bring tobacco seeds to England. William Harrison's "English Chronology" mentions tobacco smoking in the country as of 1573, before Sir Walter Raleigh brought the first "Virginia" tobacco to Europe from the Roanoke Colony, referring to it as "tobah" as early as 1578. In 1595 Anthony Chute published "Tabaco", which repeated earlier arguments about the benefits of the plant and emphasised the health-giving properties of pipe-smoking. The importation of tobacco
Blackleg (potatoes) first warmed to 12°-15 °C, cut, stored for 2 days at 12°-15 °C in a humid environment with good air flow. This warming and storing period ensures proper suberization of the tissue, which forms a barrier from "P. atrosepticum" infestation. Given that "P. atrosepticum" thrives in cool, moist conditions, planting seed potatoes in well-drained soil after soil temperatures have increased well above 10 °C is very important to halting the onset of the disease early in the plant life cycle, when the plant is more susceptible to the worst effects of the disease. Increasing application of nitrogen or complete fertilizers
