★ Curly Leaf Easy Blanching 
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 pedigreed 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 diseased soil where 
Golden Self Blanching Celery does poorly and where a green 
Celery is suitable to market demands. This strain blanches 
readily in cold storage and excels any other green variety 
in this respect. It can readily be recognized even in the seed¬ 
ling stage and when this seed comes into general use, substi¬ 
tutions of other varieties can readily be detected. 14 oz., 
$1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; 14 lb., $5.50; 1 lb., $20.00, postpaid. 
Michigan Golden 
Michigan State College Yellows-Resistant Celery 
“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 char¬ 
acteristics 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 yel¬ 
low 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 pro¬ 
ducing 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 yellow 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. % oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; ^4 lb., $5.00; V 2 lb., $10.00; 1 lb., $20.00, postpaid.
