New Primulinus Hybrids (Kunderdii) 
“As Lifelike as Butterflies, as Graceful as Orchids” 
Primulinus hybrids are distinguished mainly for their fine and various shades 
of yellow, orange and saffron colors, graceful slender stems and airily noised 
flowers. Our strains of these vary from other strains of Primulinus hybrids as our 
Kunderdii differ from other strains of Gladiolus. Our mixtures of these contain 
many equal to most of the named kinds 
Read the following opinion of Mr. Maurice Fuld, of New York seedsman 
author and lecturer, founder of The American Gladiolus Society, and’ one of the 
best judges of the newer Gladioli. 
"You must know the species called ‘Primulinus’ before you can fully appreciate 
what Kunderd has produced.In the whole world, Mr. Kunderd’s new 
introduction will, for a long time to come, rank as the greatest achievement in 
Gladiolus culture . . . The name of Kunderd stands today for the best and 
choicest in Gladioli of American origin, and to his credit we can recall a host of 
the best prize winners in our whole collections.
