JOHN I. BEGGS, President Wisconsin Light, Heat and Power Co., Milwaukee, 
Wis., March 30, 1916, writes: 
“Last year I set out at my Country Place, Beggs Isle, Oconomowoc, Wis., over 
3,000 Gladiolus from many different sources and of many varieties, and I have no 
hesitation in stating that those received from you were the best of the entire lot, 
the bulbs being large and the blooms and foliage profuse and highly attractive.” 
ORR BROTHERS, Horticulturists, etc., Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Aug. 17, 1916, 
write: 
“We are pleased to inform you that every one of the Gladiolus conns which 
we had from you germinated splendidly, and that the flowers are simply mag¬ 
nificent.” 
HOWARD BLACKLY, Kalispell, Montana, Sept. 18, 1916, writes: 
“The Gladioli I got from you last spring, a sample order of your selection, 
have done surprisingly well. Their growth was remarkable for vigor. “Red 
Amarillas” is an astonishing flower. Shall send you as large an order as I can 
afford next spring.” 
MRS. PI. A. HILDRETH, Kingston, Mass., March 13, 1916, writes: 
“I can’t tell you how much pleasure I received from the varieties I had from 
you last year. They were certainly very beautiful and very greatly admired by 
my friends and myself. I think “Myrtle” I had from you is the most exquisite 
shade of delicate pink I have ever seen, and your Ideal Mixture has the finest 
varieties I have ever seen in a mixture. Every named variety you sent me gave 
me the greatest satisfaction. The quality of bulbs could not have been better.” 
A. L. WOODWORTH, Westport, Conn., March 24, 1916, writes: 
“I am much pleased with the Ruffled Gladiolus you sent me last year. They 
were by far the most beautiful gladiolus I had ever seen.” 
N. LEON WINTZER, Gladiolus Grower, West Grove, Pa., May 22, 1916, writes: 
“Your kind letter of the 17th is noted, and L only wish I could take to myself 
the expressions therein, but you evidently have confused me with my father, Mr. 
Antoine Wintzer, who is the producer of many of the newer varieties of cannas. 
I passed your good words on to my father—coming- from Mr. Kunderd they mean 
a great deal to him.” 
LEWIS L. ALLEN, Providence, R. I., Dec. 20, 1916, writes: 
“The Ruffled Gladioli that I purchased from you opened up a new revelation 
of what can be accomplished with this wonderful flower. Please send your 1917 
catalog when ready.” 
A. P. SAUNDERS, Sec’y Am. Peony Society, Clinton, N. Y., Jan. 27, 1916, writes: 
“I have grown your Ruffled Gladiolus for some years and am a great admirer 
of it. I was much interested to see that the ruffled type is now being extended 
into a wider range of colors. I have no doubt this fine type of bloom has a great 
future before it.” 
P. N. ELMORE, Gladiolus Grower, Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 13, 1916, writes. 
“I can truly say that I never saw finer flowers in my ten years that I have 
grown Gladiolus, and I have had some fine ones. Your mixture beats them all, 
and only one bulb that did not grow.” 
A. RORDAME, Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 19, 1916, writes: 
“I have had in mind to write you for a long time my appreciation and admir¬ 
ation of the lovely Gladioli that I obtained from you. They were truly the glory 
of my garden.”
