Coker’s Certified 
402 
This variety was bred by the North Carolina Tobacco Ex- 
periment Station at Oxford, North Carolina. It is a selection 
from a cross of Jamaica Wrapper and 400. Our 402 seed were 
produced on our farms from planting stock which we orginal- 
ly secured from the North Carolina Tobacco Experiment 
Station. 402 possesses the vigor and size of the 400 parent. 
The leaf is of the Jamaica type, but much broader and when 
cured is relatively thin and predominantly luggy. The leaves 
are spaced a medium distance on the stalk and grow with a 
yellowish cast which should be taken into consideration with 
harvesting. 
PRICES: $2.00 per ounce, $15.00 per half pound, $28.00 
per pound, postpaid.

Coker’s Pedigreed 
YELLOW MAMMOTH 
Yellow Mammoth is one of our oldest varieties 
which is especially well suited for planting on medium 
to heavy sandy loam soils. This tobacco has a medium 
stalk, long, medium broad leaves well spaced on the 
stalk. It combines good weight with quality and cures 
to arich lemon color. Our pedigreed strain is a distinct 
improvement on the general strain. It is important 
that care be taken to see that this tobacco is fully 
ripe before gathering as it grows with a yellowish 
cast. 
PRICES: $2.00 per ounce, $15.00 per half pound, 
$28.00 per pound, postpaid. 
OUR CLAIMS. The claims we make for our seed are based 
on their zctual performance in our breeding plots, variety 
tests and increase fields. They are ALL bred, grown, prepared, 
tested and stored under our personal supervision and control. 
EFFECT OF GROWING CONDITIONS. Our descriptions 
are based on the actual records that our varieties have pro- 
duced in our tests, and they will show the same characteristics 
elsewhere under the same conditions. Drought or POOR 
CONDITIONS will result in a reduced yield and poorer 
quality—no matter what variety is planted.

BROADLEAF HICKS 
Coker’s Broadleaf Hicks is a selection made by our 
breeders out of the standard Broadleaf variety. We 
have found this selection to be superior in quality 
and yield to the standard line. 
The long, medium broad leaves cure to a bright 
lemon color. This variety has grown in popularity in 
certain parts of the North and South Carolina flue- 
cured areas, and our work with this tobacco has been 
directed towards giving these growers the best selec- 
tion possible in this variety. 
Coker’s Broadleaf Hicks is uniform in all growth 
characteristics, has a medium size, stiff stalk, and 
is adapted to practically all soil types throughout the 
flue cured belt. 
PRICES: $2.00 per ounce, $15.00 per half pound, 
$28.00 per pound, postpaid. 
Our tobacco seed have been carefully recleaned, treated 
against disease and tested for germination. However, under 
no circumstances can we be responsible for the germination 
of the seed after they are planted, for weather conditions, 
improper fertilization, and other causes can result in improper 
germination in the plant bed.
