YODER CARNATIONS 
Geo. K. Ball looking over a bench of Yoder’s new Carnations 
at West Chicago. 
These are the first of a series of Carnations developed by 
Yoder Bros. of Barberton, Ohio from disease-free seedling 
strains. They are not disease-resistant, but they are as free of 
disease as you can get Carnation stock; and given the same 
care you would give ordinary commercial Carnation varieties, 
they will give you more quality flowers—more dollars per square 
foot of bench space than the regular varieties. 
The demand for these varieties has been heavy—get your 
order in now to be sure of the quantities and varieties you want. 
Shipped from September thru June. F.O.B. Barberton, Ohio. 
Minimum order, 50 cuttings of a variety. 
Achilles. A large, clear white; petals deeply serrated. Larger 
than Jupiter and more productive. Fast, early producer on 
long, strong stems. Free come-back in winter. All-year 
white. 
Juno. A medium sized, flat, well-formed white flower; very full 
center; free come-back in winter. Good from early fall to late 
spring. Good keeper and shipper. 
Titan. An intense crimson red, not quite as tall as Vulcan. 
Gets into production fast. Very full flower, outstanding flower 
substance. Consistently high production. 
Cupid. Color a true Briarcliff pink; size medium. Very heavy 
producer, at its best December thru April. Flower is small in 
summer, but color remains excellent. A good keeper. 
Eros. Light pink, similar to Aphrodite in color, except that it is 
deeper in the summer and early fall. Vigorous, heavy growth; 
long, strong stems. Early flowering and fast comeback. Large 
flowers with good average production. Some splitting in early 
fall, but disappears as soon as night temperatures are main- 
tained. Fine for late spring, summer and early fall. 
Siren. Scarlet, combining heavy production with fast come- 
back, uniform cropping, on stems of medium length. This 
variety grows to about the same height as Aphrodite and its 
production is equal to that of Apollo. Siren will out-produce 
Neptune. It should find a very important place among the 
varieties now available in this color class. 
Cassandra. Yellow and pink variegated; very similar to Orion, 
but flowers are larger and stems stronger. Variety never 
splits; shows excellent flower substance; an outstanding 
keeper. 
Pandora. Dark pink with sufficient suffusion of salmon to make 
it an exceptionally beautiful color under artificial light. 
This variety will fade during heat of summer, but is really a 
new color for December thru April. Good average production; 
fine flower substance.
