ABOUT THE CATALOG. We take pleasure in presenting you with this, our 1935 Catalog. 
On pages 4 and 12 you will find two of our famous special collections. Page 23 is our mixture 
page, offering for your approval the finest in gladiolus mixtures. These are outstanding bargains 
and we highly recommend them. 
SHORTAGE OF BULBS. Reports coming from various sections of the country indicate an 
actual shortage of first class gladiolus bulbs this year, due to drought and thrips. We, however, 
have excellent stocks of the finest quality and our crop produced wonderful increase this year. 
With the assured increase demand for gladiolus we expect a complete sell-out quite early in the 
season. Do not delay too long in sending your order. 
FINEST QUALITY. All our bulbs are hand sorted to insure uniform quality. They are all 
inspected by the Indiana Department of Entomology and are shipped under State Certification of 
Inspection, insuring their freedom from injurious pests and diseases. We spare no expense in 
producing the finest gladiolus bulbs grown. Our large, modernly equipped storages were especially 
built so the bulbs could be handled to the very best advantage. We had plenty of rain at the right 
time last August and early September which gave the bulbs the moisture they needed to produce 
an excellent crop of the finest reproductive quality. The name KUNDERD on your bulbs implies 
the finest gladioli that grow. 
REGARDING PRICES. In looking over our catalog you will find many varieties at lower prices 
than in 1934. We want them lower for we expect a big increase in sales this year, so our prices 
must be right. With the right prices and quality — KUNDERD QUALITY — all gladiolus lovers 
will buy. 
BEAUTY OF KUNDERD GLADIOLI. Many letters of commendation come to us fron? dis¬ 
criminating customers and growers from all parts of the world. Words fail to express their praise 
for the beauty they find in Kunderd Gladioli. There is an endless array of gorgeous colors, whites, 
pinks, lavenders, purples, yellows, reds and combinations of colors that places the gladiolus pre¬ 
eminently in the foreground among all flowers. 
REDUCTION IN VARIETIES. On every hand today we hear it said, "There is too much of 
this." We have analyzed the situation in regard to gladiolus varieties. Last spring and summer we 
checked and rechecked our stocks carefully with the result that we reduced the numbers of varieties 
to 294. This year we are introducing but 14 new creations (described on page 6). In reducing the 
number of varieties we have kept only the very finest— the cream of the list. We know each and 
every variety offered in this catalog is most outstanding and deserving of a place in the gardens of 
not only the connoisseur but those who grow only for the beauty which gladioli give them. 
ACTIVITIES AT THE We kept, at the 
CENTURY OF PROGRESS. 1933 World s 
Fair, a continual 
gladiolus show in the Horticultural Building for 
9 weeks during August, September and October, 
Our exhibit filled the large exhibition hall and 
presented a flash of color never to be forgotten. 
Again in 1934 we repeated our show. If you 
were a visitor perhaps you saw this wonderful 
display or some of the many Kunderd Gladioli 
plantings located in various places our of doors 
including the State of Florida planting in the 
Court of States. The expressions of admiration 
from the many visitors justify our belief that 
Kunderd Gladioli made a most favorable im¬ 
pression on their minds.
