inspected in 1919 was properly tagged; 

 in 1920 one lot was properly tagged. 

 But special mixtures were not so well 

 tagged in 1920 as they were in 1919. In 

 all the years out-of-state dealers have 

 been the worst offenders. 



Every effort has been made to insure 

 the results of the laboratory being ac- 

 curate and fair in every way. Lack of 

 funds for travel and laboratory work 

 have not permitted more extended 

 work being undertaken. However, ger- 

 mination tests have been made 

 promptly. Samples collected in March 

 and April were tested in May. Those 

 not within the "limits of toleration" 

 were rctested in June. And if the second 

 test proved unsatisfactory for the seeds 

 they were tested a third time in July. 

 In a nutshell, the dealer has been given 

 the benefit of any reasonable douljt in 

 all cases.

Kunderd's Gladioli 



are now so well known and are in such great demand that you, 



as a grower or florist, cannot afford to be without them. No 



other strains are now so popular, nor can you secure so many 



beautiful blooms from any other. They alw^ays bring top prices 



in the markets. 



Heretofore there has not been a sufficient supply to afford growers a 

 share in their great sale. 



/ offer you a 

 Chance this Year 



for the first time to secure a select collection of about 

 ninety choice varieties listed and described in my 

 wholesale price list. All authorities are agreed that my 

 new strains represent by far the greatest improvement in 

 gladioli today. 



You will miss many of your best customers if you let 

 them go elsewhere for their cut flowers and bulbs. 

 Send for my wholesale list above described, and also a 

 copy of my new retail catalogue, both free.
