The European conquerors of America watched in amazement when smoke emerged from the mouths of American Indians. Not long afterwards, Europe, too, was smoking. Genuine tobacco, with its more refined taste, was discovered later. In World War II, when supplies from the tropics came to an end in The Netherlands, people grew Nicotiana rusticana, which is easier to cultivate in this climate, to roll into cigarettes.

BALSAM
In the villages on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, old olive tins, buckets, and all kinds of other containers are full of the extremely graceful flowering balsam.

They attract just as many insects, although the openings are too small for larger bumblebees.

Although nemesias like sunlight, they have a strong dislike of very hot weather. The plants will begin to wilt and, if the warm soil surrounding the roots are dries up, the plant will collapse altogether. You should therefore find an airy position for them and make sure that the soil in pots and other containers never dries up entirely. If you bear this tip in mind, things can hardly go wrong. The small plants are on sale at markets and garden centers as early as May. They are often sold in the same packs in which they were sown, as the roots of seedlings cannot tolerate much in the way of damage. They were sown in greenhouses more than three months prior to being sold. If you want to sow them yourself, you may opt for early flowering. In that case, you should sow indoors in February-March; the temperature for germination is 68 °F. The seeds may be covered lightly. Sow directly in small pots, or prick them out as soon as they are manageable. In that way, you will prevent damage to their roots. After the last frost, they should be planted out with their rootballs intact and pre-soaked.
