Coker 100 Wilt—Continued 
section of Georgia, Coker 100 Wilt led all commercial 
varieties in acre value of seed and lint. 
In the three-year average (1943-1945) results of variety 
tests on wilt and non-wilt soils of 18 cottons in Central 
Alabama, Coker 100 Wilt came first in yield of lint and 
money value, also leading three-year average test of 13 
varieties on wilt infested soil in Southern Alabama. 
IS WELL SUITED FOR MACHINE PICKING 
This variety—Coker 100 Wilt—has been at or near the 
top of state conducted cotton variety tests in North Caro- 
lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and 
South Texas during the past three years. It has proven to 
be well suited for machine harvesting and hand picking, 
and combines production, premium staple, wilt resistance, 
desirable spinning quality, earliness, and dependability. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant—Erect, semideterminate in type. Vigorous with 
more erect well spaced fruiting branches and two to 
four vegetative branches. 
Foliage—Thin with deeply lobed medium sized leaves. 
Season—Very early. 
Bolls—Round ovate, slightly pointed, 70 to 72 to pound, 
open extremely wide and fluff beautifully yet storm 
resistant. 
Lint Length—1'42” to 1%.” or longer, under good condi- 
tions. 
Lint Per Cent—37% to 39%. 
Character—Excellent, uniform, strong. 
Production—High. 
Wilt Resistance—High. 
Picking Quality—The best. Has proven to be especially 
well suited for mechanical harvesting as well as hand 
picking. 
Prices: $12.50 per 100-Ib bag, $220 per ton, F. O. B. 
Hartsville, S. C., and Memphis, Tenn. All seed reginned 
and treated with Ceresan. 

CAUTION 
Due to the development of apparently new races of wilt, 
complicated by adverse seasonal conditions, improper fer- 
tilization and the presence in some instances of the deadly 
meadow nematode, no conscientious breeder can guarantee 
any wilt resistant cotton to survive on any wilt infested 
soils. 

From South Carolina's 
Champion Cotton Grower 
I have been planting 
Coker’s 100 Wilt since 
1942, and I have con- 
tinued to replenish seed 
each year since. With 
my experience in cotton 
growing in _ Pickens 
County, Pea Ridge Sec- 
tion, I feel sure that 
this is the best variety 
of cotton that has been 
planted or can _ be 
planted, and certainly 
for the Piedmont Sec- 
tion of South Carolina.

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.”
