HARDIRED WHEAT — 
A Variety with Considerable Cold and 
Leaf Rust Resistance, High Resistance 
to Mildew, Profuse Stooling and Good 
Production Record—Widely Adapted 
Coker’s Hardired Strain 3 is our third and 
newest strain of a new wheat variety first intro- 
duced in the fall of 1940. Backed by eleven years 
of plant breeding effort, Strain 3 is showing a 
marked degree of uniformity and a consistent 
record of satisfactory production. 
This wheat grows somewhat taller than Red- 
hart, and consequently, its storm resistance is 
not as great. Although we have never suffered 
any loss of this variety on our farms from 
lodging, we do not recommend it for planting on 
heaviest types of soil, high in organic matter or 
nitrogen content. 
STRAIN 3 BEST HARDIRED 
Hardired Strain 3 has made the highest average 
yield record of either of the other two Hardired 
Strains, in our tests here, and its parent strain 
led all commercial varieties in the 1942 N. C. 
Wheat Performance Trials in an average of all 
five tests conducted. In the 1941 South Carolina 
Three-Acre Wheat Contest, Hardired made the 
highest yield record of any variety planted, with 
Coker’s Pedigreed 
REDHART WHEAT 
A Variety with Stiff Straw, Extra Early 
Maturity and High Production 
Because of an insistent demand by a number of 
our customers who are partial to Redhart wheat 
because of its dependable production, we have 
increased and are again offering our Redhart 
Strain 5. 
FOURTH IMPROVEMENT ON ORIGINAL 
STRAIN 
Redhart Strain 5 is our fourth improvement on 
the original Redhart strain of wheat first offered 
by our Company 22 years ago. It is very similar 
both in type and appearance to Redhart Strain 4 
from which it came but has made a better yield 
record and has shown a higher degree of uni- 
formity. It is a week earlier than Strain 1, from 
Strain 3 
an average yield of 33.56 bushels and winning 
both the first and second state prizes with a 
yield of 56.5 and 55.73 bushels per acre respec- 
tively. 
It has considerable cold resistance, is resistant 
to the early types of rust and highly resistant 
to mildew damage. 
Hardired wheat stools (tillers) profusely and 
consequently, less seed per acre is needed than 
with most other varieties. Heavier seedings some- 
time result in shorter heads and smaller, weaker 
straw. 
WELL FILLED HEADS—HIGH 
MILLING VALUE 
Hardired Strain 3 is of medium maturity, 
ripening about a week to ten days later than 
Redhart Strain 5 and about one week earlier 
than Leap’s Prolific, Forward and Fulcaster. 
The heads are long, square and well filled with 
grain of high milling value. 
We have received good reports from most of 
the southeastern states on this variety which 
attests its wide adaptability and satisfactory per- 
formance under varying conditio

HEADS ERECT, COMPACT AND BEARDLESS 
Redhart Strain 5 has a strong, stiff straw and 
stands up well under unfavorable weather con- 
ditions. The heads stand erect, are beardless and 
square with four full rows of grain. The glumes 
fit snugly over the grains and reduce loss from 
shattering.
