COKER 100 Strain 3 
A COTTON WHICH COMBINES SUPERIOR 
YIELD, HIGH TURNOUT AND 
PREMIUM STAPLE 
Coker 100 Strain 8 is superior to all previous 
Coker 100 cottons in production or seed cotton, lint 
per cent and length. 
PICKS EASY, WEATHER RESISTANT 
It has dark green foliage, slightly thinner than 
Strain 1 but some heavier than Strain 2. The plants 
are semi-determinate, more erect than Strain 1 with 
shorter fruiting branches. These are thickly set with 
medium large bolls that open wide, fluff and pick 
easily yet are weather resistant. 
LEADS VARIETY TESTS 
The reason for our continuous breeding program 
and the introduction of new strains is strikingly 
shown by comparative records made in the South 
Carolina Pee Dee Experiment Station 1938 Cotton 
variety test of Strains 1, 2, and 3: 
Lbs. of Seed 
Cotton Per Cent Lbs. of Lint 
Per Acre Lint Per Acre Length 
Coker 100 Strain 1 2415.6 31.67. 932.5 1349 
Coker 100 Strain 2...2570.0 38.64 9938.2 1%» 
Coker 100 Strain 3_..2664.0 39.86 1048.5 1% 
In the 1988 Pee Dee Experiment Station variety 
test, Coker 100 Strain 3 led the test of 44 well-bred 
varieties and strains both in pounds of seed cotton, 
pounds of lint and money value per acre, and again 
came first in the 1939 test with 48 cottons included. 
Coker cottons took ten of the first 13 places in this 
test. 
GOOD FIELD RECORD 
The excellent variety test record which Coker 100 
Strain 3 has made is duplicated by its showing under 
field conditions. One 59-acre field produced 115 bales 
or an average of 978 pounds of lint per acre with 
a staple averaging full 14.6" to 11%”. 
Because of the splendid record Coker 100 has 
made throughout the eastern south from Virginia 
to Arkansas and due to its wide popularity, our 
supply of Coker 100 Strain 3 seed was sold out last 
season, long before planting time.
