Early Select Snowball 

Michigan State College Yellows-Resistant Celery 
Since we introduced Michigan Golden in 1934 this 
variety has been widely used by growers whose soil 
is infested with the kusarium 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 immune from Fusarium Yellows and can 
be grown in soils where other yellow varieties are 
ruined by the disease. 
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 soilg 
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. % oz., 
$1.00; 1 oz., $1.50; 14 lb., $5.00; 1% Ib., $10.00; 1 Ib., 
$20.00, postpaid.
