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 comeback in winter. All-year 
white. 
Juno. A medium sized, flat, well-formed white flower; very 
full center; free comeback 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 come- 
back. Large flowers with good average production. Some 
splitting in early fall, but disappears as soon as night tem- 
peratures are maintained. 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.
