variety tests in North Carolina, South Carolina, 
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and South Texas

well suited for machine harvesting and hand 
picking, and combines production, premium 
staple, wilt resistance, desirable spinning qual- 
ity, earliness, and dependability.

CAUTION 
Due to the development of apparently new 
races of wilt, complicated by adverse seasonal 
conditions, improper fertilization and the pres- 
ence in some instances of the deadly meadow 
nematode, no conscientious breeder can guaran- 
tee any wilt resistant cotton to survive on any 
wilt infested soils. 
REPORTS FROM CUSTOMERS ON COKER 
100 WILT RESISTANT 
Our opinion is that Coker 100 Wilt Resistant is best 
for earliness, production, staple and adaptability on 
Louisiana wilt infested soils.

In no single instance did we receive an unfavorable reply 
on the result of the twenty bags 100 Wilt cotton seed that 
you authorized us to give away last season. On the other 
hand, this particular strain met with fine acceptance in 
every instance that we know of.

This Strain (Coker 100 Wilt Strain 5) did wonderfully 
well, even with the unusually wet season. The yield was 
better than anything in this section. 
Henry A. Rougion 
October 13, 1946 Oscar, Louisiana 
Under our wilt conditions as well as our non-wilt land 
we find that Coker 100 Wilt is the most satisfactory cotton 
we can plant. It has good quality and character, and is 
always at or very near the top in production tests.

I am having my Coker 100 Wilt Resistant seed state 
certified as I think it is the best wilt cotton seed you have 
put out, and I have been planting them on a farm of mine 
on which I have wilt, for several years.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have decided on a change in 
our established method of identifying our various varieties 
of seed, which we believe our customers will approve of. 
Hereafter, we will eliminate the strain numbers on our 
varieties of seed, and instead will identify these varieties 
by date or year the seed were produced. As an example, 
our new Coker 100 Wilt will be labeled Coker 100 Wilt— 
1946 Breeder Foundation Stock, and our new Coker 100 
Staple as Coker 100 Staple—1946 Breeder Foundation 
Stock. This does not involve any change in our breeding 
program, but is being done in order to avoid confusion 
between different strain numbers of the same variety and 
so that our customers will know the year that these strains 
and varieties were produced for sale by us. 
Wister Henry, leading cotton grower of Belzoni, Mississippi, shown in field of his Coker 100 Wilt 
cotton, 1945 crop. Mr. Henry says, “‘My land is subject to wilt, but none showed up in 1945 crop. The 311 
acres of this variety (Coker 100 Wilt) produced 523 bales. This cotton is early, storm resistant, picking 
qualities excellent. Every one planting it is well pleased.”
