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 
characteristics this variety resembles quite closely 
the best strains of Golden Plume, 
“Michigan Golden” is extremely resistant to Fu¬ 
sarium 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 dis¬ 
ease in most of the principal Celery producing states 
with the exception of Florida and California. Grow¬ 
ers 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 suc¬ 
cessfully 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 
YelloM-^s and like other varieties should be protected 
from leaf blights by proper spraying or dusting. Di¬ 
rections for the control of these diseases are inc'osed 
in each packet of seed. 34 oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; 34 
lb., $5.00; 34 lb., $10.00; 1 lb., $20.00, postpaid.
