RISING BEAUTY—A New California Dahlia 
Deep scarlet red, tipped and striped with 
gold—more attractive than Geisha, as the 
brighter red makes a more pronounced 
contrast. The formation is of the hybrid 
cactus type, but late in the season inclines 
toward the peony. 
This Dahlia is one of the most striking 
and brilliantly colored in the entire list, 
and has all the good qualities required 
for either exhibition or cut flower purposes: 
large size, freedom of bloom, good stems 
and keeps well when cut. 
We offer strong field grown divisions at 
$1.50 each. 
Our 1924 catalogue describes nearly five 
hundred varieties of Dahlias. A copy 
will be gladly sent on request.

Never were there such glorious gladioli as my 
ruffled beauties. More perfect in form and varied 
in their marvelous colorings than any strain ever 
grown. The ruffled-petal type, origi¬ 
nated by me, has created a distinctly 
new gladiolus family. Not only was the 
ruffled type originated on my trial 
grounds, but many of the most beauti¬ 
ful of the plain-petal kinds are from the 
same ancestry. Other new creations of 
my own production are the Kunderd 
Primulinus Hybrids and Laciniated 
type. Each year I select the best of 
thousands of my new gladioli and add 
them to my lists. 
Enjoy a collection of Kunderd 
Gladioli in your own garden next 
summer.
