Kunderd Sells Entire 
Stock for 1919-1920. 
Mr. A. E. Kunderd, of Goshen, Ind., 
reports the sale of all the surplus bulbs 
of his entire catalog list for 1919-1920, 
and that he will not issue a catalog 
this season. The sale was made to the 
Nursery Department of the GoodHold 
Farm, of Mentor, Ohio, one of the 
largest farms and show places in the 
Western Reserve. It is situated on 
the main Chicago-Buffalo pavement, 
in West Mentor, seven miles west of 
Painesville. 
The consideration of the sale is not 
mentioned beyond the fact that the 
price is the largest ever paid for one 
sale of Gladioli in the history of the 
trade. 
Among the products of the farm are 
registered Holsteins, Berkshires, Per- 
cherons, finest field and vegetable, an- 
nual and perennial flower seeds, bulbs, 
perennial plants, and ornamentals. 
The nursery and seed department is 
under the management of Ralph E. 
Huntington, of Painesville, who is well 
known in the trade. 
During the past season, some two 
hundred of the Kunderd introductions 
were planted on the road front of the 
farm, and proved a great attraction to 
the hundreds of passing tourists. None 
of the bulbs in this purchase will be 
resold this season, it being the inten- 
tion of the management to increase 
these stocks, which have always been 
too small to supply the demand of the 
catalog houses. 
It may be mentioned in passing that 
the stock of Gladioli and perennial 
plants at “GoodHold” will soon be the 
most complete in America, if not in 
the world.

Though there are various reasons why people 
delay their planting of fall bulbs, the idea seems 
to be widely prevalent that, the nearer solid 
winter they can be planted, the better. The 
idea is false. Every day after early September 
that a bulb remains unplanted, it is losing 
strength, whereas, if planted, it is gaining 
strength. Next fall buy early, plant early.
