Coker’s Pedigreed 
MAMMOTH GOLD 
1953 BREEDER’S REGISTERED SEED 
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 Mammoth 
Gold is an early maturing variety with unusual vitality. The 
eighteen 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 ovr customers this season is the nearest ap- 
proach we have been able to make in this variety towards our 
goal of an ideal cigarette tobacco.

selecting. This variety should be allowed to fully ripen before
