of black shank, or where a combination of mild black shank and 
high Granville wilt resistance is needed. Dixie Bright 101 grows

OXFORD 1-181 
(Resistant to Black Shank) 
This variety is from a selection out of Oxford 1 made by 
Mr, J. F. Bullock, Agronomist of the Bureau of Plant Industry, 
USDA, located at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, Florence, 
South Carolina. The 181 selection shows black shank resistance 
comparable to the Oxford 1. On soil moderately infested with 
root knot it makes a noticeably better growth than does the 
parent line. The plant type is very similar to that of such 
medium broad leaf varieties as Virginia Bright Leaf and Hicks. 
The leaf, if allowed to fully mature before harvesting, will be 
bright, silky, and of medium body when cured. Our tests have 
shown yields from this variety to compare favorably with other 
medium broad leaf tobaccos, and higher than most other black 
shank resistant varieties. 
This tobacco has shown relatively high resistance to black 
shank but moderate to heavy losses may occur where this disease 
is particularly severe, especially if unfavorable soil and climatic 
conditions exist. Root knot and meadow nematode lesions offer 
an avenue for entrance of the black shank organism and losses 
are usually greater where these two diseases are present. A good 
rotation is very important in the production of flue-cured to- 
bacco and is essential for best results where you have a disease 
problem. We urge all growers to observe this practice. We recom- 
mend planting this variety 18 to 22 inches in the drill and top- 
ping high for best results.  ,

402 
This variety was bred by the North Carolina Tobacco Ex- 
periment Station at Oxford, North Carolina. 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. 
The leaf 
is of the Jamaica type, but much broader and when cured is

BROADLEAF HICKS 
Coker’s Broadleaf Hicks is a selection made by our breeders 
out of the standard broadleaf variety. We have found this selec- 
tion 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 characteris- 
tics, 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 Agricultural 
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
