GOLD 
DOLLAR SEED 
a/te belter each tjear 
THE GUARANTEE OF PURITY AND QUALITY 
Our seed are grown in isolated fields nearly a mile from any other variety. No suckers are 
allowed to grow and any plants showing a lack of uniformity are not allowed to set seed. 
Seed heads are permitted to ripen and mature fully—insuring healthy, plump seed. After 
the seed are harvested, they are put through a rigid cleaning and treating process. The seed 
pods are carefully threshed and sifted. They are next passed over a smaller sifter and then 
through an air blast which removes the remaining small trash and immature seed. 
Each ounce of seed is treated for a period of ten minutes and then washed through TEN 
GALLONS of water to remove all chemicals, insuring good germination and vigorous plants. 
The seed are then spread thinly on inside drying racks and stirred at intervals until thor¬ 
oughly dry. They are again run through a sterilized cleaner which completes the cleaning 
process. 
They are then put up in full weight, spill-proof cartons of one ounce each. Genuine Coker’s 
Gold Dollar seed are never sold in bulk. Look for the carton bearing the GOLD DOLLAR seal 
and REDHEART trade-mark—the Guarantee of Purity and Quality.

BECAUSE, for the past nine years, we have an¬ 
nually selected hundreds of best plants from the 
best of the preceding selections, tested them with 
scientific accuracy, discarded the less productive, less 
desirable plants and bred into those plants which 
were saved the greatest possible combination of de¬ 
sirable characters. 
Our Plant Breeders have paid close attention to 
ALL qualities which make for greater yield, better 
quality and highest money value per acre. Ease 
of curing, uniformity in size of plant and leaf, low 
percentage of waste and trash, brightest color and 
finest texture possible is the goal towards which they 
are working nearer each year. 
The hundreds of satisfied tobacco growers who 
rely on us for their planting seed each year and the 
country-wide reputation our GOLD DOLLAR has 
made for reliability and performance is our best 
evidence that OUR GOLD DOLLAR SEED ARE 
BETTER EACH YEAR. 
Above: Selected plants carefully bagged to maintain 
purity and quality and to prevent any possible mixing 
or cross-breeding. Of the many hundreds of plants 
selected every year from our breeding fields, only the 
best six or eight are used as parents of our new strains. 
At Left: Our seed fields are carefully inspected plant 
by plant and only those coming up to our GOLD DOL¬ 
LAR STANDARD are saved for seed. The plants 
must not only look good, but must make good tobacco.
