★ Curly Leaf Easy Blanching S L f 
from Easy Blanching Celery possessing all of the 
qualities of that well known strain, and in addition 
presenting an exceptionally handsome appearance due 
to its curled and ruffled leaves. This seed is a pedi¬ 
greed strain produced in California by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture from seed furnished by 
the Department of Botany, Michigan State College. 
This seed is especially recommended for use on dis¬ 
eased soil where Golden Self Blanching Celery does 
poorly and where a green Celery is suitable to market 
demands. This strain blanches readily in cold stor¬ 
age and excels any other green variety in this re¬ 
spect. It can readily be recognized even in the seed¬ 
ling stage and when this seed comes into general use, 
substitutions of other varieties can readily be de¬ 
tected. l / 2 oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; 14 lb., $5.50; 1 lb.,

YeHows-Relistant^Celery “Michigan Golden” 
“Michigan Golden” is a new strain of self-blanching Celery that is highly resistant to Fusarium Yellows, 
also known as root rot and crown rot. It was bred from the tall strain of Golden Self-Blanching by plant 
pathologists of Michigan State College, but it is intermediate in type between Tall Golden and Golden 
Plume. The stalks are somewhat longer than those of Golden Plume and are about the same width. The 
base of the plant is slightly narrower but in other characteristics this variety resembles quite closely the 
best strains of Golden Plume. 
“Michigan Golden” is extremely resistant to Fusarium Yellows and can be grown in soils where other kinds 
of yellow Celery fail because of this disease. In tests for two seasons Michigan Golden has shown more 
resistance than any other variety of yellow Celery. Fusarium Yellows is now an important disease in most 
of the principal Celery producing states with the exception of Florida and California. Growers who have 
been troubled with this type of root rot in their Celery crop will find “Michigan Golden” highly resistant 
under the most severe conditions. This variety is not recommended as a substitute for other kinds of yel¬ 
low Celery where these can be successfully grown. 
Seed of this variety is produced and packeted under the direct supervision of plant pathologists of Mich¬ 
igan State College and is sold only in the original serially numbered and sealed packages. 
“Michigan Golden” is resistant only to Fusarium Yellows and like other varieties should be protected from 
leaf blights by proper spraying or dusting. Directions for the control of these diseases are inclosed in each 
packet of seed. Y> oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; >4 lb., $6.00; Yj, lb., $10.00; 1 lb., $20.00.
