COKER’S PEDIGREED ABRUZZI RYE 
STRAIN 16 -A 
Abruzzi Strain 16-A we consider the best strain of rye 
we have been able to produce during 26 years of intensive 
breeding of this variety. It is an ideal rye, making rapid, 
erect, heavy, early fall growth—the best for grazing and 
cover crop. 
Its profuse tillering, vigor, stiff straw and long, square, 
well filled heads insure a heavy yield. Its beautiful large 
grains and remarkable uniformity add to its attractiveness 
and value. 
It led our 1934 variety test in yield, and our field yield of 
24 bushels per acre further proves its value. 
Abruzzi is accepted as being the best rye for the cotton 
belt— 16-A is the best and earliest of the Abruzzis.

“No ‘Wry’ Face Here” —John Aycock, smiling Walton County farmer, has 
planted Coker’s Abruzzi rye for many years but he agrees that 16-A is just a little 
bit better than the rest.
