COKER'S PEDIGREED MAMMOTH GOLD 
Faced with an almost certain reduction in tobacco al- 
lotments for 1948, tobacco growers of the flue-cured belt 
will give more careful consideration to production of 
quality leaf and most desirable cigarette types. However, 
since growers do not wish to sacrifice pounds per acre at 
the expense of quality, we have found an ever increasing 
demand for our Mammoth Gold variety because of its 
ability to produce maximum yie'ds and high quality. 
Coker’s Mammoth Gold originated from a cross of Gold 
Dollar and Yellow Mammoth and combines the best fea- 
tures of each—the excellent color, quality and wide adapta- 
bility of Gold Dollar with the heavy yield and desirable 
type of Yellow Mammoth. 
Our tobacco variety tests have shown that Mammoth 
Gold produces more pounds per acre than any of our 
other varieties and under normal conditions will make a 
high average quality of cigarette tobacco with a minimum 
of trash. It has proven to be well adapted for all except 
the heaviest types of soil in the flue-cured belt. 
Mammoth Gold is an early maturing variety with un- 
usual vitality and its thirteen years of inbreeding and 
testing have intensified the good qualities that brought 
prompt acceptance by growers throughout the Southeast 
when it was first introduced in 1939,

Effingham, S. C., on the fine sale of Mammoth Gold tobacco he has just 
made. Mr. McCain’s tobacco shown in the picture sold for an average 
of 62¢ a pound.

Glascow tells us that he has grown Mammoth Gold for the. last two 
years and that this year’s crop is one of the finest that he has ever had. 
This year’s breeder foundation stock seed represents a 
further refinement of those qualities mentioned above 
and we offer it as the nearest approach we have been able 
to make towards our goal of ideal cigarette type tobacco.

Cannon farm in Hemingway, S. C. Mr. Cannon writes: “In 1929 I 
purchased my first Coker tobacco seed, a package of Gold Dollar. Since 
this time I have planted Coker Tobacco Seed every year and have 
found them to be outstanding. This year I planted my second crop of 
Mammoth Gold, I find it to be a variety that produces both pounds and 
quality. My experience has been that a dollar invested in Coker Tobacco 
Seed is a dollar that will be repaid many times in a quality crop.’
