COKER 100 WILT 
STRAIN 3 
Combines High Degree Of Wilt Resistance, 
Heavy Yield, Earliness, Thin Foliage 
And Open Type 
Coker 100 Wilt Strain 3 is our newest strain of 
our wilt resistant Coker 100, a variety that is 
giving excellent results on both wilt and non-wilt 
soils throughout the southeastern cotton belt. Strain 
3 is backed by ten years of intensive breeding and 
testing on badly wilt infested soils and we con- 
sider it a worthy successor to the parent strains 
1 and 2. One of the most outstanding qualities of 
Coker 100 Wilt is the remarkably wide fluffy opening 
of its bolls which makes picking easy and reduces 
weather damage when conditions are unfavorable. 
Five-Acre Contest And Variety Test Record 
In the 1942 S. C. Five-Acre Cotton Contest—the 
year that Coker 100 Wilt was first offered—this 
cotton won six of the eight prizes offered, including 
First State Prize and every First District Prize. 
The prize winning yield was 7,505 pounds net lint 
on five acres or three bales per acre. 
In 1942 state conducted cotton variety tests, Coker 
100 Wilt continued its remarkable 1941 performance 
taking first place in variety tests at Experiment 
and Plains, Georgia; Raeford, North Carolina; Tip- 
tonville, Tennessee, and has made exceptionally good 
records in tests throughout the wilt area of Alabama 
and South Carolina. 
Coker 100 Wilt is well suited for one-variety 
communities in which both wilt and non-wilt soils 
are found, for its high degree of wilt resistance 
enables it to produce good crops on wilt soils and 
its excellent yield record compares favorably with 
non-wilt varieties on non-wilt soils.
