COKER 100 
A Wilt Variety Combining Yield, Earliness, Thin Foliage and Open Type. 
Not since Coker 100 was first introduced and planted 
has a cotton met with such universal approval as this 
wilt resistant strain of Coker 100, offered first in the 
Spring of 1942 for this year’s planting. This cotton, the 
product of six years intensive breeding on badly wilt 
infested soils, followed by three subsequent years of 
testing and increasing, convinced us thoroughly of its 
true merit prior to introduction. It has convincingly 
justified the high rating that we had given it by a 
remarkable performance in highly competitive tests 
throughout the cotton belt in 1941. 
OUTSTANDING VARIETY TEST RECORD 
This cotton made the highest average yield in nine 
tests, conducted by the Fusarium Wilt Committee of 
the Southern Agricultural Workers Association. These 
were planted on badly wilt infested soils from Texas to 
North Carolina. It likewise led the Tifton, Georgia, 
test in pounds of lint cotton produced per acre. It led 
the South Georgia Uniform Wilt Variety Test, planted 
at Hawkinsville, Carnegie, Statesboro and Plains loca- 
tions, in pounds of seed cotton, pounds of lint and money 
value per acre. It led the 1941 Alabama Uniform Wilt 
Variety Test of twenty-eight of the best bred wilt 
resistant cottons, planted in eight different localities, 
with a yield of 485 pounds of lint per acre. It also led 
a test of twenty-eight varieties at the South Carolina 
Edisto Experiment Station and rated high in many 
others. 
SUITED FOR WILT OR NON-WILT SOIL 
This remarkable performance in wilt tests proves 
Coker 100 Wilt to have few if any equals for planting on 
wilt infested soils. Its consistently good performance on 
non-wilt infested soils proves it, likewise, to be a safe 
cotton to plant on any soil. This cotton was bred to fill 
the persistent demands of those growers and admirers 
of Coker 100 cotton for a wilt resistant cotton of this 
type that could be safely planted on their soils that 
were rapidly becoming infested with this disease organ- 
ism. Coker 100 Wilt Resistant fills ideally this demand.
