'Glessner', also known as 'Glessner Pennsylvania Seed Leaf' and sometimes sold by vendors incorrectly spelled as "Glessnor," its plants are attractive and produce large leaves with a fine, soft texture remaining elasticity after curing making it useful for cigar wrappers. It was also grown for use as cigar filler and binder as well.

'Glessner' is a very old variety, pre-dating the 1880s, and originating in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was, ". . . held in very high repute and is probably more grown throughout the section than any other."[2] Offered by Henry A. Dreer and Company of Philadelphia, they described it in 1883 as follows"
"The most noted selection grown in Lancaster county. It has a larger and finer leaf than the Connecticut, of a chestnut brown color, also producing a greater crop of handsome foliage."[4]
Historically grown in the tobacco producing regions of grown in Pennsylvania New York and Wisconsin.[1] Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552642 and is grown for us by David Pendergrass from Tennessee.

We have 9 allotments in and around my city of Halmstad where the closets is a 2 miles from my home , but I don't think there is any lots to hire.
The lots are usually around 1000 sq feet and are made of clay
