SEED INTRODUCTIONS 
YOUR ATTENTION 
GREENHOUSE HYBRID SNAPDRAGONS 
YODER BROS. 
@ THOROBRED SNAPS FOR 1953 
(Seed available June 1) 
HYBRIDS 
These important new improved hybrid snapdragons are the result of 12 
years of intensive hybridization by Yoder Bros., Barberton, Ohio. For De- 
cember and January flowering they are stiff stemmed and produce long 
tapering spikes. These hybrids also are very valuable for the spring crop. 
There is a minimum amount of side shoots which makes them well adapted 
to single-stem culture as well as for a pinched crop. We are fortunate to 
introduce to you these new improved Yoder hybrids. All are worthwhile 
introductions and deserving of a trial.
