number, we can readily trace the complete history 
of any particular lot of seed. 
STORING AND TAKING SAMPLES 
After ginning, our seed are stored in large, roomy 
warehouses with ample air space between stacks and 
allowed to cure out naturally. After the seed are 
thoroughly cured out samples are taken from the 
center section of each bag and tested for germina¬ 
tion. A duplicate sample is germinated as a double 
check. 
GERMINATING LABORATORY 
Our germination laboratory is modern and up-to- 
date in every respect and is operated by a trained 
staff. Greatest care is exercised to determine the 
actual percentage of germination of every bag of 
seed that we sell. 
which results in the seed in each bag running uni¬ 
formly in germination, size and quality. This eli¬ 
minates the possibility of a difference in stand of two 
bags of seed of the same variety and strain. After 
this mixing process is complete, our seed undergo a 
thorough recleaning both by screening and air-blast 
methods. 
TREATED WITH CERESAN 
The seed are then treated with 2% Ceresan. 
This treatment has proven tremendously valuable, 
particularly in seasons when conditions have been 
unfavorable for proper germination of seed. 
GERMINATION RE-CHECKED 
At this point, the seed are again tested for ger¬ 
mination as a final safeguard to our customers. 
HIGH GERMINATION 
The 1938 season was ideal for the production and 
harvesting of cotton-seed in this section and our 
germination is the highest in years. The average of 
our entire crop of sales seed is well in excess of our 
guaranteed minimum standard of 80%. 
UNIFORM GERMINATION, SIZE AND QUALITY 
After all seed have been tested, each strain is 
carefully massed together in a series of five mixings 
PROPERLY SEALED AND TAGGED 
Attached to each bag of seed that we ship is an 
analysis tag issued by our state crop commission 
certifying to germination, varietal and mechanical 
purity and freedom from communicable diseases or 
insects, as well as our own official OK tag and metal 
seal. This OK tag is your assurance that the seed 
are genuine COKER’S PEDIGREED and have been 
bred, grown, prepared and tested for greatest pro¬ 
duction and profit to the grower.
