COKER 100 WILT 
°51 BREEDERS REGISTERED SEED 
Our 1951 Breeders Registered Seed possesses the 
best combination of desirable characteristics of any 
variety that we have ever bred or tested. It was 
developed through many years of scientific breeding 
and testing to provide the cotton grower with a 
variety that would net more money than any other 
variety that he could plant. 
YIELDING ABILITY 
Maximum yields are necessary for greatest profit. 
Coker 100 Wilt, because of its wide adaptation, 
abundant fruiting characteristic, wilt resistance, 
earliness, and stormproofness, has been outstanding 
in yield. The ability of Coker 100 Wilt to produce 
high yields has been conclusively proved in our own 
experimental tests on wilt-infested soils from the 
Carolinas through Mississippi and Arkansas and by 
results obtained in tests conducted by State and 
Federal experiment stations throughout the cotton 
belt. Its performance on thousands of farms has 
shown it to be a truly outstanding variety. In 33 
5-acre statewide contests in North Carolina, South 
Carolina and Georgia, Coker 100 Wilt has won first 
place 82 times. 
WILT RESISTANCE 
Fusarium wilt has infested the soils of large areas 
throughout the entire cotton belt. Profitable yields 
cannot be obtained unless a wilt-resistant variety 
is grown. Our trained and experienced plant breeders 
and pathologists are working together in breeding 
for wilt resistance. They have succeeded in combin- 
ing high yields and excellent fiber quality with 
resistance. Coker 100 Wilt, because of its yielding 
ability, is a leading producer on non-wilt soils. This 
characteristic combined with high wilt resistance 
makes Coker 100 Wilt the cotton that can be de- 
pended upon for profitable yields of high quality 
cotton in wilt-infested fields. 
PICKING QUALITY 
Coker 100 Wilt, being early and having fluffy 
bolls, thin foliage, and desirable plant type, is espe- 
cially adapted to hand or machine picking. The ease 
with which it can be cleaned in the gin assures the 
grower of a sample with the minimum amount of 
trash and the best gin preparation that could be 
obtained with any variety. Growers who have been 
leaders in mechanized production have been enthusi- 
astic in their praise of Coker 100 Wilt and its adapta- 
tion to mechanical harvesting. 
FIBER QUALITY 
Coker 100 Wilt is outstanding in quality of fiber 
as the result of many years of breeding, selection, 
and testing for improved fiber and spinning char- 
acteristics. Through an amendment to the Smith- 
Doxy Act, passed in 1941, the services of the fiber 
and spinning laboratories of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture were made available to breeders and 
others on a fee per sample basis. Tens of thousands 
of lint samples of Coker 100 Wilt breeding stocks 
have been sent to these laboratories during the ten 
years that these services have been available. The 
extensive use of fiber technology in the selection of 
new strains has resulted in the 1951 Breeder 
Registered Strain being outstanding in fiber and 
spinning qualities and in its being sought for and 
praised by the cotton mills. This has been accom- 
plished along with an increase in yield and an im- 
provement in other characteristics. Cotton buyers 
and cotton manufacturers recognize Coker 100 Wilt 
as being a cotton with character and with a very 
low amount of waste. 
STAPLE LENGTH 
Coker 100 Wilt produces a staple of 1145 to 134.5 
inches on average soils in average seasons. In favor- 
able seasons and on heavy, fertile soils, such as those 
in the Mississippi Delta, it frequently produces a 
longer staple.

with more erect branches. Well adapted to 
mechanized culture and harvesting, and to con- 
trol of insects. 
Foliage—Thin, with deeply-lobed, medium size 
leaves, usually easy to defoliate.

damage and mid-season to late-season moisture 
shortage. 
Bolls—Round ovate, slightly pointed, 70 to 72 per 
pound, well-fluffed, storm resistant. 
Lint Length—14.” to 134.” under average condi- 
tions, longer under good conditions. 
Lint Percent—37% to 39% under average conditions, 
higher under more favorable conditions. 
Fiber Quality—Excellent, uniform, strong. Sought 
for and praised by buyers and manufacturers. 
Production—High. Widely adapted. 
Wilt Resistance—High resistance to Fusarium and 
tolerant, though not resistant, to Verticillium. 
Picking Quality—The best. Type of plants, amount 
of foliage, fluffiness and storm resistance of 
bolls, and cleanability of lint well suited to hand 
and mechanical picking.
