YODER BROS. CARNATIONS 
INTRODUCED IN 1952 
WHITE 
ADONIS—A winter variety with satisfactory but 
small flowers. A good producer. It is inclined 
to be a grassy grower. 
AURORA—An exceptionally large white with 
strong stems. Does best in higher than average 
carnation temperatures, and therefore can be 
suggested for late spring and early fall. 
JUPITER—A large white with a very strong stem, 
it gives competition to Northland. The occa- 
sional slight incurving of the petal edge is not 
associated with nor does it develop into sleepi- 
ness, 
PINK 
APOLLO—The Outstanding Yoder Introduction. 
Well suited to all areas of the country. Larger 
than Netta. This promises to become the fore- 
most salmon pink grown. 
APHRODITE-A clear light pink which has created 
much interest among retailers. The outside 
petals bleach a little in late spring and early 
fall but do not burn. An early producer with 
an early comeback, best in areas of relatively 
high light intensity. It does not like to be 
crowded. 
DIANA—A good commercial type with excellent 
production. Growers of Fischer varieties will 
favor this light pink which adapts itself well to 
summer production. 
VENUS-A show variety with salmon-pink flowers 
excellent in every respect. Its long stems should 
not be overlooked. Similar to charm in some 
respects. 
ROSE 
MINERVA-An unusual deep scarlet-pink. It fades, 
but uniformly so, in high light intensities. Breaks 
back heavily and is a fine keeper. 
SCARLET 
CERES—This is a very small flower except in 
December through May. Resembles King Car- 
dinal in color. Production is exceptional, and 
it comes back into crop quickly. 
NEPTUNE-A scarlet resembling the color of 
William Sim. Breaks freely. We believe the new 
Siren to be superior, however. 
CRIMSON 
VULCAN—A fine flower in the crimson or maroon 
group. Should supercede varieties now avail- 
able in this color class. An excellent keeper. 
Comes back readily. 
YELLOW 
MIDAS—The best yellow carnation and the 
Second Outstanding Yoder Introduction. It has 
an excellent market demand. Production is very 
satisfactory. It responds best when kept vegeta- 
tive, 
VARIEGATED 
ORION—The color closely resembles Glowing 
Ember and is also much like the new Cassandra 
which, however, has a larger flower. An excel- 
lent grower and producer. 
SATURN-A beautiful bronze variegated. Excel- 
lent under artificial lights. Retailers’ interest 
already indicates that this promises to become 
a truly popular variety.
