A tobacco plant-to-row test. One hundred hills from each plant 
selection are planted under uniform conditions with accurate records 
kept throughout to determine money value for each. 
Below: The cured leaves from the plant-to-rows are graded, examined 
and checked for weight and quality. Our new strains come from a few 
superior plants of the outstanding plant-to-rows. 
Coker’s Pedigreed 
VA. BRIGHT LEAF 
Virginia Bright Leaf, as its name indicates, is a bright 
cigarette type and a popular variety. It grows a leaf of 
superior quality but fewer pounds per acre than some of 
our other varieties. 
This tobacco has made a good record in the eastern 
section of the flue-cured belt and has done especially 
well on medium to lighter grades of tobacco soil. The 
quality and yield of Virginia Bright Leaf has been greatly 
improved by our breeders since we began working with 
it in 1928. This year’s strain cures to a good lemon color 
except when planted on heavier clay soils. The fibers in 
the leaves are smaller and a more uniform ripening has 
reduced blue butts to a minimum. 
PRICES: $1.00 per oz., $7.00 per half pound; $13.00 per 
pound, postpaid. 

Coker’s Pedigreed 
BONANZA 
Coker’s Pedigreed Bonanza is an excellent tobacco of 
medium size with well spaced leaves. On sandy loam 
soils—the type for which it is especially well suited—it 
usually combines good weight with quality. The Bonanza 
on which we began our breeding work in 1928 was a fair 
cigarette type but had a tendency towards a red color. 
This undesirable feature has been largely eliminated. The 
leaves are long and of medium width—quite different from 
the old narrow leaf type we started with—and cures easily 
to a good orange color. 
Coker’s Pedigreed Bonanza is popular in the bright belt 
of Florida where it has made a splendid record. It is also 
successfully planted in certain sections of Georgia and 
South Carolina. 
PRICES: 85 cents per oz., $6.00 per half pound; $11.00 
per pound, postpaid.
