MIciceNn Celery 
Michigan State College Fusarium Yellows-Resistant 
Michigan Golden Celery was introduced by us in 
1933 and its record since then has proven it to be the 
most resistant and the most productive yellow celery 
for growing on soils infested with the destructive 
root rot fungus. It is an especially valuable variety 
for midsummer and late crops that are subjected to 
the high soil temperatures of the summer months. 
Under those conditions Fusarium Yellows is most 
destructive in susceptible varieties of celery. Michi- 
gan Golden retains its high resistance under summer 
temperature conditions most favorable for root rot 
and will produce a crop when less resistant varieties 
are ruined. 
Due to the nature of the Fusarium Yellows disease, 
continuous breeding is required to maintain the high 
resistance of this variety. As a result of continuing 
reselection work, Michigan Golden is now greatly 
improved over the original introduction. Larger and 
more uniform stalks with a heavier base are charac- 
teristic of this new strain. 
We strongly recommend Michigan Golden for plant- 
ing in soils where Fusarium Yellows or root rot 
attacks other varieties of yellow celery. We espe- 
cially recommend it for the summer and late crops. 
No one variety is adapted for use on all soils and for 
all climatic conditions. Michigan Golden is especially 
adapted for Michigan conditions but is widely and 
successfully grown in other sections of the country 
where root rot is also a destructive disease. 
Michigan Golden was developed by plant patholo- 
gists of Michigan State College and the breeding 
work is continuing under their supervision. All gen- 
uine Michigan Golden seed is grown under their con- 
trol, packeted at the college and sold only in the 
original sealed containers. 
Prices: 1% oz., $1.25; 1 oz., $1.75; 2 ozs., $3.50; 4 
Ib., $5.50; 1 Ib., $22.00, postpaid.
