TO TOBACCO GROWERS OF THE FLUE-CURED BELT: 
It gives us great pleasure to 
present to you this copy of our 
1951-52 Tobacco Seed Catalog in 
which you will find accurate de- 
scriptions and specific recom- 
mendations. Please read careful- 
ly and select the variety best 
suited to your particular condi- 
tions. 
Our tobacco breeders are prac- 
tical tobacco growers, men 
reared on tobacco farms, with 
long experience, scientific train- 
ing and a vast store of know-how. 
You can follow their recommendations with safety and assur- 
ance. These men bred Coker’s Gold Dollar, Coker’s Mammoth 
Gold, Coker’s Golden Harvest, Coker’s Golden Wilt, and our 
latest tobacco, introduced first this fall, Coker’s Golden Cure. 
Geo. J. Wilds 
President 
These tobaccos have been bred to bring the farmer the maxi- 
mum net dollars per acre. We are keenly aware of the fact 
that disease resistance in itself is not enough, that it is valu- 
able only to the extent that it increases the net dollar per 
acre income. We insist always on the highest possible quality, 
plus production, combined with a high tolerance to disease. 
Our aim is to please our customers. We invite you to visit our 
Company and inspect our farms and breeding experiments. 
With every good wish for 1952, 
Sincerely, 
President

Our stock of tobacco seed for 
the 1952 planting season, includ- 
ing twelve popular varieties, is 
the best and most complete we 
have ever offered. We are pleased 
to be able to announce to our 
customers the introduction of a 
new cigarette type variety, 
Coker’s Golden Cure, which is 
the easiest tobacco to cure we 
have ever bred or tested, and 
produces top yield of uniformly 
high quality tobacco. Further 
information on this variety is 
given beginning on page four.

Vice-President 
Since the best tobacco seed obtainable costs no more per 
acre than a pound of good quality tobacco will bring, it does 
not seem wise to try to save a few cents per acre on this 
essential item by buying anything but the best. 
Our Company was the first commercial organization to be- 
gin scientific plan-to-row breeding with flue-cured tobacco 
varieties, the first to offer purebred, dependable, high quality 
seed and to pioneer in improved methods of cleaning, treating 
and packaging. 
Every ounce of seed which we sell is grown on our farms, 
under the direct and personal supervision of our tobacco ex- 
perts and all are processed, treated, and packaged in the most 
careful and scientific manner possible. We offer them to you 
in the belief that they will add to the satisfaction, assurance, 
and profits of your tobacco growing operations. 
Sincerely yours.
