Coker’s Pedigreed 
Mammoth Gold 
= 
Strain 3 
Coker’s Mammoth Gold Strain 5 is a superior new strain 
of this variety which came from a cross of Gold Dollar x 
Yellow Mammoth crossed back on Gold Dollar. 
In our 1942 Tobaceo Variety Test, Mammoth Gold 
Strain 5 made the best record of the eleven varieties 
tested, producing a net weight of 1,548 pounds per acre 
which sold for $719.63. The gross weight was 1,554 pounds 
or a loss of only six pounds in trash, which is evidence 
of its remarkable uniformity resulting from years of in- 
breeding and selection. It is earlier in maturity than 
most other varieties and has unusual vitality. 
Coker’s Mammoth Gold produces most pounds per acre 
of any of our varieties and under normal conditions makes 
a high average quality of cigarette tobacco. This feature 
is especially desirable under present marketing conditions 
when the differential between grades is small and where 
most pounds per acre of cigarette tobacco mean most 
dollars per acre. 
Mammoth Gold Strain 5 comes from the highest yield- 
ing, most desirable plants of Mammoth Gold Strain 4, and 
we consider it our best variety for all except the heaviest 
types of tobacco soils in the flue-cured belt.
