Coker’s Pedigreed 
GOLD DOLLAR 
STRAIN 12 
In Coker’s Gold Dollar Strain 12 we have been able to 
maintain the desirable features of previous strains with a 
further refinement in quality resulting from another year’s 
inbreeding and the selecting and testing of thousands of 
superior Gold Dollar plants. 
Gold Dollar Strain 12 traces its ancestry back through 
12 generations of scientific plant breeding to J-29—the 
outstanding plant from which all Gold Dollar strains 
originated. 
Coker’s Gold Dollar is perhaps the most widely planted 
variety in the flue-cured belt and has added many millions 
to the value of this great southern crop. This is evidence 
of its value and dependability and the quality of the 
breeding which produced it. 
DESCRIPTION 
Uniformity: Probably the most outstanding characteristic 
of this tobacco. Resulting from long years of inbreed- 
ing and selection, Gold Dollar Strain 12 is remarkably 
uniform in size and shape of leaf, height of plant and 
time of ripening. 
Leaf: Long, rather broad; fills out to a good tip. 
Stalk: Medium to tall; leaves well spaced, admitting maxi- 
mum sunlight and insuring uniform ripening. 
Weight: Among the best of high quality cigarette types. 
Curing: Easy to cure, very few blue butts. 
Texture: Excellent. 
Waste or Trash: Minimum, less than 10% with fair sea- 
sons and proper handling. 
Adaptability: Will give good results on practically every 
type of tobacco soil in the flue-cured belt from Virginia 
to Florida. 
Gathering: Can be left longer in the field after yellowing 
with less burning than many other varieties.
