COKER 100 
STRAIN 5 
A Superior New Coker 100 Bred from Strain 3 
Coker 100 Strain 5—a new Strain—superior even to our 
Strain 4 offered first last Spring, in both earliness and pro- 
duction. It is descended from our Coker 100 Strain 3, which 
needs no introduction to the many growers and admirers of 
Coker 100 cotton from Arkansas through the Carolinas. 
ENVIABLE RECORD 
Coker 100 Strain 3 has made an outstanding and con- 
sistently good record, both in tests and for growers. It led 
both the 1938 and 1939 Main Cotton Variety Tests conducted 
by the Pee Dee Experiment Station at Florence, S. C., in 
pounds of seed cotton, pounds of lint and total money value 
per acre. In these two years’ tests it produced an average 
of 2,689.5 pounds of seed cotton and 1,046.8 pounds of 1%” 
lint per acre. These tests included over 40 of the best bred 
cottons in the South. Coker 100 Strain 3 led the 1940 Uniform 
Cotton Variety Test conducted by the Delta Branch Experi- 
ment Station at Stoneville, Mississippi, in total money value 
per acre, with a yield of 2,761.6 pounds of seed cotton and 
905.8 pounds of 14%” lint per acre. It also ranked first and 
fifth in total money value per acre in the two outlying tests 
conducted by this station, in which this Strain was included, 
producing a staple of 1542” in length. 
14 BALES ON FIVE ACRES 
Coker 100 Strain 3 was planted by Mr. J. L. Hawkins of 
Greer, South Carolina, the winner of the first State prize 
in the 1940 South Carolina Annual State-wide 5-Acre Contest, 
producing 7,030 pounds of lint, or 1,406 pounds per acre. 
Coker 100 Strain 8 was used in the 1940 National Cotton 
Picking Contest held at Blytheville, Arkansas, and is also 
being used again this year. This cotton has earned its 
popularity by performance. 
BEST YET OFFERED 
In Coker 100 Strain 5, we have been able to keep all the 
good qualities of its Strain 3 parent, and in addition, have 
more uniformity in type, slightly higher production, earlier 
maturity, one per cent higher lint outturn and _ slightly 
longer staple. Strain 5 has led Strain 3 in total money value 
per acre in all tests in which both have been included. We

of Coker 100 cotton will find this new Strain to be superior 
to any previous strain offered.
