COKER 200 Strain I° 
Coker 200 Strain 1 is a striking Coker 100 Strain 
2 selection; even more uniform in type with thinner 
foliage and earlier maturity than Strain 2. One is 
struck with the semi-dwarf, red stemmed, deter- 
minate plants; the deeply lobed, small leaves, the pro- 
fuse fruitage and the lightly colored bronze tipped 
squares. A thoroughbred cotton with a record in 
keeping with its pedigree. 
FOR FERTILE SOILS OR CLOSE SPACING 
Coker 100 Strain 2, the parent of Coker 200 Strain 
1, led the 1987 Pee Dee Experiment Station test in 
pounds of seed cotton and ranked second in the 
1938 test, being led only by our Coker 100 Strain 3. 
It has made a similar record in our tests. Coker 200 
Strain 1 led its parent in our 1938 Coker 100 Strain 
test and ranked slightly ahead in the main test. Due 
to the small stalk, thin foliage, small, deeply lobed 
leaves and quick fruitage, Coker 200 Strain 1 is 
splendidly suited for planting on fertile soils or for 
close spacing on average to good soils. A still better 
Coker 100-2. 
LEADS VIRGINIA TEST 
Coker 200 Strain 1 led the 1939 test conducted by 
Virginia Experiment Station at Holland, Va., in 
which 19 popular varieties were included. Coker 200 
came first with a yield of 2,175 pounds of seed cotton 
per acre. Coker 100 Strain 2 came second with a 
yield of 1,850 pounds. In the 1939 Clemson College 
variety test, Coker 200 Strain 1 came second in 
money value per acre and pounds of lint and made a 
turnout of 39.7% lint. It was led only by one of our 
breeding blocks of Coker 100 which may be a new 
strain to be offered our customers in the future.

*Coker 200 is the name we have given our line of 
Coker 100 cottons which come from the small weed, 
small leaf, extra early Coker 100 Strain 2 blood 
line. This cotton is showing up especially well on 
the fertile soils of the eastern Carolina coastal belt 
and along the northern edges of the cotton belt. It 
is suited for planting in sections where earliness, 
small stalk, small leaf are desired but should not 
be planted on the lighter grades of cotton land or 
on soils which are wilt infested. 
Breeding field of Coker 200 Strain 1 illustrates earliness, dwarf stalk and heavy production. This field 
which averaged better than two bales per acre is a portion of a 140-acre section which in 1939 averaged 911 
lbs. of lint per acre.
