1947 Booklet Checked Contentment Gardening Grow Instruction Pipe Tobacco Trousers
EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled amongst the pages of this vintage gardening booklet from 1947, lies a fascinating and almost forgotten chapter of domestic history: the art of growing one's own tobacco. Titled "Grow and Smoke Your Own Tobacco," this instruction booklet offers a unique blend of horticultural know-how and smoking tradition, providing readers with the tools and knowledge necessary to cultivate their very own tobacco plants and ultimately, craft their own pipes and savor the fruits of their labor. The cover image of the booklet, captured in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a contented gentleman in trousers and suspenders, seated in a garden setting, engrossed in the pages of another book. In one hand, he holds a pipe filled with freshly harvested tobacco leaves, a look of satisfaction and pride gracing his face. The scene encapsulates the simple pleasures of rural life and the joy of self-sufficiency, a sentiment that resonated deeply with many during the post-war era. The booklet itself is filled with valuable information, from selecting the right tobacco seeds and preparing the soil, to tending the plants and curing the leaves. It even includes instructions on how to construct a pipe from materials found around the farm, adding an additional layer of self-reliance to the process. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the act of growing and smoking one's own tobacco was not only a source of personal satisfaction but also a means of economic self-sufficiency. Today, as we continue to explore the rich history of gardening and tobacco cultivation, this charming booklet serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and skills that once defined the rural way of life.
