HARDIRED WHEAT 
1948 BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK 
Coker’s Hardired was bred in the South 
for southern conditions and is an excellent 
producer of high quality milling wheat. Its 
high degree of cold resistance and consider- 
able resistance to rust is enabling it to make 
a genuine contribution to the live-at-home 
program, and is adding to the yields and 
quality of the Southern 
wheat crop. 
Coker’s Hardired is 
of medium early matur- 
ity, ripening about a 
week later than Red- 
hart Strains and about 
one week earlier than 
Leap’s Prolific, For- 
ward, and Fulcaster. 
The heads are square 
and well-filled with 
grain of high milling 
value. 
HEAVY SEEDINGS 
NOT RECOMMENDED 
Hardired wheat stools 
(tillers) profusely, and 
consequently, less seed 
per acre is needed than 
with most other varie- 
ties. Heavier seedings 
sometime result in short- 
er heads and smaller, 
weaker straw. 
This wheat grows somewhat taller than 
Redhart, and consequently, its storm resis- 
tance 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.

WIDELY ADAPTED 
This variety has stood at or near the top 
in State Experiment Station Variety Tests 
throughout most of the southeast, and good 
reports have been received from growers 
throughout this area. Our breeding work on 
Hardired began in 1932 and our 1948 Breeder 
Foundation Stock is 
backed by 16 years of 
selection and testing.
