J. M. ADAMS, Hartford, Conn., writes: 
“I have made out a list of new varieties which I desire, but it is hard to 
choose, for all the varieties you put out are full of merit. I certainly think your 
originations are far ahead of all others/’ 
PROF. R. C. H. LENSKI, D. D., Capital University, Columbus, Ohio: 
“The bulbs have all bloomed, simply wonderful. “Pendleton”, “Kunderdi 
Glory”, “Pride of Goshen”, and “White Glory” were a revelation to me.” 
REV. MAGEE PRATT (the Author), Granby, Conn.: 
“My Dear Mr. Kunderd:—I thought that I ought to report to you, as the 
Gladiolus season is over with me. I have never had finer flowers than this year, 
and never seen so fine as yours before. I have known the flower for forty years; 
have seen the best in England, grown from the finest in Europe, and your produc¬ 
tions excel any and everything in the Gladiolus family. In fact, they have spoiled 
my own for me. I have a mixture made up of the best varieties I could buy in 
large assortment, but it is far inferior to yours, and the worst of yours is this: 
that its superiority is so self-evident that my own look mean. Only a few of my 
named varieties, such as Panama, Rosella, etc., ought to be allowed in the same 
garden as your productions.” 
J. G. BURROWS, Landscape Gardener and Florist, Onset, Mass.: 
“You have erected a monument to your memory that will live as long as 
history, and far outshine the great monumental or memorial Woolworth building- 
in New York City.” 
E. T. BARNES, Expert Dahlia Grower, Spencer, Indiana (National Co-Operative 
Show Gardens), writes: 
“I have often heard and read of Kunderd’s Gladioli, but I did not expect to 
see as extensive a place as you had. You are certainly deserving of all the 
credit you have received and more.” 
P. W. STUEHMER, Nurseryman, Waupaca, Wis.: 
“I grew thirteen of your varieties and all of them are good. The “Red 
Amarillas” is a grand thing.” 
E. L. STONEBROOK, Gladiolus Grower, California: 
“We are enjoying your Ruffled Gladiolus, and the “Pendleton”, which are in 
bloom. Your creations are superb.” 
REV. F. J. JANSEN, St. Vincent’s Rectory, Elkhart, Indiana: 
“The bulbs of Gladioli I bought from you last spring were a revelation to me. 
The ruffled edges, the magnificent size of blossoms, and the delicate coloring, I 
deemed impossible of attaining. I have sixty different roses blooming in my 
yard, and while they make a fine appearance, I think the gladioli make a more 
gorgeous showing.” 
WM. J. STEWART, Editor and Manager “Horticulture”, Boston: 
“The Gladiolus bulbs you sent me did splendidly, and the beauty of the 
flowers has enthused the neighborhood. They will be satisfied next year with 
nothing short of the finest new sorts.”
