TERMS AND 
RED HEART TRADE MARK ON ALL PACKAGES 
OF GENUINE COKER’S PEDIGREED 
TOBACCO SEED 
Our own pedigreed varieties of Coker’s pedigreed 
tobacco seed are packed in attractive, one ounce 
metal containers bearing our registered Red Heart 
Trade Mark, and the words ““COKER’S PEDIGREED 
TOBACCO SEED.” Each container is sealed before 
leaving our plant and should not be accepted by 
customer if seal is broken. Protect yourself by in- 
sisting upon having only seed bearing our registered 
Trade Mark and official seal. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY 
Our tobacco seed are carefully tested for germina- 
tion and purity before shipment. Every ounce con- 
tainer is sealed with label on which is printed the 
percentage of germination and mechanical purity of 
that particular lot of seed; also official purple 
“REGISTERED SEED” label of the South Carolina 
Crop Improvement Association. Under no circum- 
CONDITIONS 
stances, however, can we be responsible for the 
germination of the seed after they have been planted 
for there are many reasons for imperfect germina- 
tion of planted seeds other than their vitality. 
In no case, do we give any warranty expressed or 
implied as to the productivity or performance of 
our seed. Our liability is limited to purchase price 
of seed. 
EFFECT OF GROWING CONDITIONS 
Our descriptions are based on the actual records 
that our varieties have produced in our tests, and 
they will show the same characteristics elsewhere 
under the same conditions. Drought or POOR CON- 
DITIONS will result in a reduced yield and poorer 
quality—no matter what variety is planted. 
OUR CLAIMS 
The claims we make for our seed are based on their 
actual performance in our breeding plots, variety 
tests and increase fields. They are ALL grown, pre- 
pared, tested and stored under our personal super- 
vision and control.
