^Michigan Golden 
we introduced Michigan 
Golden in 1934 this variety has 
been widely used by growers whose soil is infested 
with the Fusarium Yellows or root-rot fungus. Prior 
to its development, losses from this disease in some 
seasons were as much as $250,000 to Michigan celery 
growers alone. Such losses are now preventable by 
planting Michigan Golden which is practically im¬ 
mune from Fusarium Yellows and can be grown in 
soils where other yellow varieties are ruined by the 
disease.

Michigan Golden is highly resistant to Fusarium yellows, also known as 
root rot, crown rot, stunt or sickness. It is not resistant to other celery dis¬ 
eases and seed treatment together with the use of protective dusts or sprays 
must be relied upon to control leaf blights.

Since the original strain of Michigan Golden was 
introduced, breeding has been continued to maintain 
the high resistance of the variety and to improve 
commercial qualities. Considerable improvement in 
plant characters has been effected, including greater 
uniformity in length of stalk, height of plant and 
blanching qualities. Due to the influence of soil and 
seasonal conditions on the growth of the celery plant 
no one variety will succeed under all conditions 
Michigan Golden is best adapted to planting in soils 
heavily infested with the yellows disease fungus. 
Under these conditions it will produce a crop where 
other self-blanching kinds will fail. We recommend 
its use on soils where Fusarium yellows has attacked 
other varieties of self-blanching celery. 
Our seed is produced under the exclusive super¬ 
vision of pathologists of Michigan State College. The 
seed is packeted at Michigan State College and is sold 
by us only in the original sealed containers. *4 oz.,
