COKER-CLEVEWILT 7 
(WILT RESISTANT) 
Strain 2 
A CLEVEWILT WITH A HIGHER YIELD, LESS LEAF AND A BETTER TURNOUT 
Plant: Semi-determinate, vigorous, flat topped, spread¬ 
ing. 2 to 4 vegetative branches—long, well boiled 
fruiting branches. 
Foliage: Medium thin (thinner than Clevewilt 7); leaves 
turn up at edge admitting more sunlight. 
Season: Medium early. 
Bolls: Round ovate, 68 to 72 to pound. 
Lint Length: 1%2' to 1%" under good conditions. 
Lint Per Cent: 37 to 39%. 
Character: Excellent. 
Production: Best of all Clevewilts. 
Coker Clevewilt 7 Strain 2 is a straight selection 
from Clevewilt 7, with higher yield, lint per cent, 
longer staple and thinner foliage. It has the stamina, 
vigor and high wilt resistance of the parent with the 
ability to resist adverse conditions and to set and hold 
a crop in a very short period when conditions are 
favorable. 
A REMARKABLE RECORD 
This cotton has made a remarkable record in all 
tests. In a test of 24 well bred wilt cottons with from 
6 to 8 replications each it ranked 3rd in yield and 1st 
in total value at Blackville; 10th in yield and 3rd in 
value at Sumter; 5th in yield and 3rd in value at 
Manning and 1st in yield and 1st in value at Hartsville. 
It ranked 3rd in yield and 7th in total value in our 
Main Variety test on non-wilt soil, producing 2,241 
pounds of seed cotton per acre. The lint per cent was 
38.4 and staple lYs". We know of no better cotton for 
planting on badly infested wilt soils or the lighter 
sandier lands where toughness and vigor are needed. 
PRICES: $10.00 per 100-lb bag; $180 per ton, f.o.b. 
Hartsville, S. C., and Memphis, Tenn. All seed 
are treated with Ceresan. Orders accepted 
subject to crop out-turn and germination. 
Note: Because of our recent discovery of several new 
and very deadly types of cotton wilt (which raises the 
presumption that there may be other types undis¬ 
covered), we can make no guarantee as to the per¬ 
formance of our wilt-resistant cottons on wilt-infested 
soils. 
COKER’S 4-IN-l . Strain 3 
(WILT RESISTANT) 
BEST OF THE 4-IN-rs IN YIELD AND LINT PERCENT 
Plant: Semi-dwarf and determinate, open growing, flat 
topped; 2 to 4 vegetative branches and medium 
long fruiting branches. 
Foliage: Medium thin. 
Season: Early. 
Bolls: Round ovate, slightly pointed pendant; open 
wide, fluff nicely, easy to pick; storm and weather 
resistant. 
Lint Length: 1%2" under good conditions. 
Lint Per Cent: 35 to 37%. 
Character: Excellent. 
Production: Best of the 4 in I’s. 
Coker’s 4-in-l cotton has made an enviable record 
since its introduction in the spring of 1938, both in 
tests and in fields. It won the first State Prize with a 
yield of 1,162 lbs. lint per acre, and two first District 
prizes in the 1938 S. C. 5-Acre Cotton Contest. 
BEST RECORD ON WILT LAND 
We are continuing our extensive plant to row testing 
on the worst wilt soils. The new strains are tested 
in the Manning, Sumter and Hartsville plots. The 
second year strains are tested on these wilt plots again 
and seed are planted in the general variety tests on 
non-wilt soils. The one that makes the best combined 
record is saved and increased as a new strain. Coker’s 
4-in-l Strain 3 has this combined best record. 
LEADS ALL WILT COTTONS 
In the 1938 Pee Dee Experiment Station test it led 
all wilt cottons in pounds of seed cotton and money 
value per acre, ranking 8th in the entire list of 44 
wilt and non-wilt varieties. It led Strains 1 and 2 in 
all our wilt tests and in our Main Variety test on 
non-wilt soil. Its record shows it to be better than 
either 4-in-l Strains 1 or 2, as illustrated in the 1938 
Pee Dee Station test below:
