Representative leaf of Coker’s Mammoth Gold—note shape rounding 
out to a good tip and alternate venation—where the veins on each side 
of the main stem are spaced alternately instead of opposite each other. 
This feature is greatly desired by tobacco companies because of the 
greater ease in removing the stem. 
Below: The first and one of the most important steps in growing 
profitable tobacco crops is to have an ample supply of healthy, well 
developed plants. Carefully recleaned, pure bred seed help give such 
a start. 
Coker’s Pedigreed 
MAMMOTH GOLD 
STRAIN 4 
Mammoth Gold Strain 4 is a re-selection from Strain 
3 which was widely planted with generally satisfactory 
results throughout the flue-cured belt last season. 
Mammoth Gold Strain 4 comes from a cross of Gold 
Dollar x Yellow Mammoth crossed back on Gold Dollar, 
thus giving it a 75% Gold Dollar and 25% Yellow Mam- 
moth heredity. This strain combines the best features of 
two good varieties with the following superior features: 
ease of curing, low percentage of trash, good weight and 
quality. 
This strain has unusual vitality and grows off faster 
in the bed and in the field than other varieties. 
Mammoth Gold Strain 4 usually matures from a week 
to ten days earlier than most other varieties and strains.
