GOLDEN WILT ’50 * 
Care should be exercised not to over fertilize this variety. 
The leaves should be primed as soon as they have a yellow 
or ripened appearance in the field. Ordinarily it takes from 
12 to 18 hours less to color and cure this variety than most 
of the standard types. It is important not to color too long 
when curing Golden Wilt. This variety is more easily over- 
colored than the average tobacco, and care to prevent this 
is essential for top-quality cured leaf. Our experience has 
shown that this variety does not cure well with most of the 
standard flue-cured types, as it colors more rapidly and cures 
more easily and quickly than most varieties. 
Golden Wilt has been outstanding with respect to yield 
and money value per acre, both on diseased soils and non- 
infested soils. During the past three years, it has been near 
the top in all of our variety tests. 
DESCRIPTION 
WEIGHT—Golden Wilt has been near the top in our ’48, 
’49, and ’50 yield tests even on non-infested soils. 
CURING—tThe ripe leaf cures easily to a rich lemon of 
excellent quality and texture. 
LEAF—A comparatively broad leaf with rather blunt tip. 
Puckered between veins, smoothing out somewhat at the 
time of ripening. 
Chemical analysis made by one of the leading cigarette 
companies has shown this to be a most desirable cigar- 
ette tobacco. 
STALK—Medium in size with good storm resistance. 
TEXTURE—Smooth with below average size ribs. 
DISEASE RESISTANCE—Resistant to Granville and Fu- 
sarium wilts. Good resistance to nematodes. This variety 
is not resistant to Black Shank.

MAMMOTH GOLD 
Coker’s Mammoth Gold originated from a selection out of 
a cross of Gold Dollar and Yellow Mammoth. It combines the 
best features of each of its parents, giving the grower high 
yields, good quality, and wide adaptability. 
Mammoth Gold is one of the most outstanding of the 
medium leaf varieties as shown by its wide acceptance by 
growers throughout the flue-cured belt. This year’s Mam- 
moth Gold is an early maturing variety with unusual vitality. 
The sixteen years that have gone into the inbreeding and 
selecting have intensified the good qualities that this tobacco 
has long been known to possess. The breeder registered seed 
we are offering our customers this season are the nearest 
approach we have been able to make in this variety towards 
our goal of an ideal cigarette tobacco. 
DESCRIPTION 
WEIGHT—Among the best of the medium leaf tobacco va- 
rieties. 
CURING—One of the easiest to cure of all the pedigreed 
varieties. Holds its color well and cures out to a rich 
lemon color. 
LEAF—A medium sized leaf rounding out to a good tip. 
STALK—The stalk is medium to tall with well-spaced leaves. 
TEXTURE—Medium to smooth texture with average ribs. 
SEASON—Matures about a week earlier than most varieties. 
PRICES: $2.00 per ounce, $15.00 per half pound, $28.00 per 
pound, postpaid.

SISTANT TO GRANVILLE 
AND FUSARIUM WILT 
SEASON—Late blooming, average maturity. 
UNIFORMITY—Nine generations of inbreeding has produced 
uniform growth characteristics. 
ADAPTABILITY—Adapted to all soil types throughout the 
tobaeco belt with the exception of the extremely heavy 
types. 
PRICES: $3.00 per ounce, $22.50 per half pound, $42.00 per 
pound, postpaid. 
We do not recommend Golden Wilt over Golden Harvest 
except on soils infested with Granville or Fusarium Wilt. 
RESISTS GRANVILLE WILT—HEAVY PRODUCER 
OF HIGH QUALITY TOBACCO 
“In 1950 I planted Coker’s Golden Wilt on my farm which 
is infested with Granville Wilt. I found Golden Wilt to be a 
heavy producer of high quality cigarette tobacco on both in- 
fested and non-infested soils. I had no trouble with wilt in my 
crop and plan to plant Coker’s Golden Wilt in 1951.” 
Lumberton, N. C.

ONE OF FINEST CROPS HAVE EVER GROWN 
“IT planted Coker’s Golden Wilt in 1950 because my land is 
infested with Granville Wilt. My crop with this tobacco was 
one of the finest I have ever grown, averaging 1887 pounds 
per acre which sold for $1,073.38. My crop will be in Coker’s 
Golden Wilt in 1951.”

GOLD DOLLAR 
Coker’s Gold Dollar is one of the best-known of all the 
cigarette type tobaccos. Its remarkable uniformity of type, 
size, and shape of leaves, height of plant, and wide adapta- 
bility have made this one of the most widely planted of all 
flue-cured varieties. The Gold Dollar we are offering for 
1951 is the best strain we have ever offered. It has shown 
more tolerance to root knot and meadow nematode than any 
of our past strains. Our latest strain has been refined and 
improved by more than twenty generations of inbreeding 
and selecting. This variety should be allowed to fully ripen 
before harvesting. 
DESCRIPTION 
WEIGHT—Combines good weight with desirable quality. 
CURING—Easy to cure. Very few blue butts. 
LEAF—Long, medium broad; fills out to a good tip. 
STALK—Medium to tall.

varieties.
