BUSINESS TERMS 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY: Our seed are all carefully tested for 
germination and purity before shipment. (See article on pages 22 and 
23 on care in handling.) Attached to every bag of seed we ship is a 
card on which is printed the percentage of germination and mechanical 
purity of that particular lot of seed. Under no circumstances, however, 
can we be responsible for the germination of the seed after they have 
been planted for there are many reasons for imperfect germination of 
planted seeds other than their vitality. In no case, do we give any 
warranty expressed or implied as to the productivity or performance of 
our seed. 

OUR CLAIMS: The claims we make for our seed are based on their 
actual performance in our breeding plots, variety tests and increase 
fields. They are ALL bred, grown, prepared, tested and stored under 
our personal supervision and control. 
NO SEED BOUGHT: We do not buy seed for resale, either those 
grown from seed purchased from us or from any other source whatever. 
Our business is in originating, breeding, growing and selling superior 
varieties of field seed for the South. However, we are always glad to 
assist our customers in disposing of their surplus ‘“‘first year from Coker” 
seed by referring inquiries to them whenever possible.

ONE PRICE POLICY: Our Company has, since its beginning, strictly 
adhered to the policy of selling its products on one schedule of prices 
to all. These prices are based on the quantity of the purchase and are 
published in our catalogs, price lists and pamphlets. 

YOUR PROTECTION: Our seed are all sent out in bags labeled 
“COKER’S PEDIGREED SEED” and bearing our Registered Red Heart 
Trade Mark. Each bag also bears our O.K. tag and is officially sealed 
before leaving our warehouse. No seed is genuine ‘““COKER’S PEDI- 
GREED SEED” unless it bears our official O.K. under seal and our 
Registered “TRADE MARK.” Protect yourself by insisting upon having 
only seed bearing our official O.K. tag and Registered Trade Mark. 
EFFECT OF GROWING CONDITIONS: The length, percentage of 
lint and boll size of every variety of cotton will vary under varying 
conditions of soil fertility, culture and rainfall. Our descriptions are 
based on the actual records that our cottons have produced in our tests, 
and they will show the same characteristics elsewhere under the same 
conditions. Drought or POOR CONDITIONS will result in a shorter 
staple, reduced yields and smaller bolls—no matter what variety is 
planted.
