A. E. KUNDERD, GOSHEN, INDIANA 
T estimomals 
T HE name Kunderd now stands for the highest in gladiolus, as “Kunderd’s 
Gladiolus” has become a familiar phrase in the finest gardens all over the 
world. It is, however, a great pleasure to offer, each year, some new testimonials 
from some of our patrons. After all, it is of greater importance to you what our 
customers say, rather than to be entirely dependent on our own representations. 
A Few New Testimonials of 1918 
C. M. SCRACE, Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 8, 1917, writes: 
Fiom my tiials of your bulbs last year I should say your new varieties do 
exceptionally well in our climate. Under just ordinary care (without use of 
fertilizer), “Old Glory” gave blossoms six inches across, “White Glory” five 
inches, “Youel\s Favorite”, the 8th flower out, six Riches across, “Red Amarillas” 
six inches, etc.” 
GLEN P. HOWARD (Landscape Gardener), Harlan, Iowa, Aug. 30, 1917, writes: 
“I wish to say that I was very much pleased and delighted with the bulbs I 
oideied Horn you last spring. I ordered only a few, but I can tell from them the 
quality of bulbs you raise. You may look for an order from me next spring and 
it will be a larger order than last.” 
HAROLD J. CHILD (Decorator), Toronto, Canada, October 8, 1917, writes: 
“The season is almost over although some of your gladiolus are still blooming. 
I can not find words to express the great pleasure I have had for two months in 
y0U1 s ' ladiollls come into bloom, each seeming to surpass the previous ones, 
the flowers were wonderful, the colors heavenly. I have many other varieties, 
but they cannot compare with yours. I am waiting for next spring when I shall 
certainly get many more from you.” 
MRS. C. A. BRIGGS, Sacramento, Cal., August 30, 1917, (see her former opinion 
on page 44), writes: 
“This has been a summer of glorious surprises in my gladiolus garden. Such 
a wealth of beauty among the new sorts I bought of you. I did not beiieve it 
possible to produce another gladiolus as beautiful as “Mrs. Frank Pendleton” 
but you have done so, not once but several times. “Mrs. Dr. Norton”, “Byron L.’ 
Smith”, “Mona Lisa”, “Rose Glory”, “Mary Pickford”, etc., are in the same class, 
i will surely send you another and larger order next year.” 
REV. J. R. LAWRENCE, Townshend, Vt., Sept. 20, 1917, writes: 
“The gladiolus you sent me were extra fine. I appreciate your kindness in 
sending me such splendid stock. Would not hesitate to commend it to anyone 
looking for the best in gladioli.”
