Greengold 
Fusarium Yellows- 
Resistant Celery 
A new light green, hy- 
brid Celery produced by 
plant pathologists at 
Michigan State College. 
It was bred by crossing 
the Downing strain of 
Fordhook with Michigan 
Golden and combines the 
resistance of Michigan 
Golden to Fusarium yel- 
lows with the quality of 
Fordhook. Greengold was 
produced for Michigan 
conditions and is suit- 
able for either a summer 
or autumn variety. It is 
intermedite in quality be- 
tween the yellow varieties 
which are too stringy and 
most of the so-called 
Pascal types which are 
too brittle and _ break 
easily on handling. It is 
a lightly ribbed variety, very erect growing and the stalks 
average 8-10 inches to the first joint. Planting distance should 
be 5-6 inches and when well grown the plants will average 
2-3 pounds trimmed for packing in crates, such as the How- 
ard crate shown in the illustration. Greengold matures in 
approximately 90 days from field setting as a summer variety 
and the stalks blanch naturally without boards or paper

Michigan State College Fusarium  Yellows-Resistant 
Original Michigan State College seed is sold only in 
packets bearing this label and the seal of the College. No 
other seed is genuine. Beware of bulk seed of this variety. 
We strongly recommend Michigan Golden for planting 
in soils where Fusarium Yellows or root rot attacks other 
varieties of yellow Celery. We specially 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 pathologists of 
Michigan State College and the breeding work is continuing 
under their supervision. All genuine Michigan Golden seed 
is grown under their control, packeted at the college and sold 
only in the original seed containers.
