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 
selection 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.

VIRGINIA GOLD 
Virginia Gold was developed at the Virginia Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, Chatham, Virginia. It 
is from a cross of Yellow Special and Cash. This 
variety grows medium tall, has broad leaves of good 
length that are spaced medium close on a large stalk. 
One of its outstanding qualities is its vigor and 
ability to grow off quickly after transplanting into 
the fields. Since the release of this variety our yield 
tests have shown it to be one of the top producers 
of good quality cigarette leaf. It is adapted to a wide 
range of soil conditions and cures to a rich lemon 
or orange color when allowed to fully ripen. 
PRICES: $2.00 per ounce, $15.00 per half pound, 
$28.00 per pound, postpaid.

402 
This variety was bred by the North Carolina 
Tobacco Experiment Station at Oxford, North Caro- 
lina. 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 originally 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 lug- 
gy. The leaves are spaced 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.
