CHARLES W. ANDREWS, Penn., Sept. 12, 1921: “The gladioli bulbs I bought 
of you last spring did remarkably well. Alton, Smiles, Creston, Nymph, and in fact 
all of thorn woio fiiioi than any I had ovor bought and I havo boon growing 
gladioli for over 25 years. My advice to anyone wno wants the finest gladioli is 
get them of Kunderd.” 
DR. MARK D. HOYT, Montana, Aug. 19, 1921: “First I want to say that the 
230 bulbs that I bought of you last spring have everyone grown beautifully and 
the blossoms are the wonder of the town. I have over 1,100 gladioli and some 
700 or 800 varieties. Those I purchased from you are so far ahead of the others, 
that I am tying a white string on my old ones in order that I may cull them out 
when they are dug this fall.” 
C. M. SCRACE, Calif., again, Aug. 26, 1921: “The largest flowers in my 
beds this year were your Corunna, 6 in.; Mrs. Pendleton, 6 in.; Old Glory, not 
quite 6 in.; Purple Glory, 5 % in.; Groffs’ Dawn and Afterglow, 5% in.;’ and 
Lomoine’s Charlemagne, 6 in. These were all larger than any of .. .’ s I 
have. The tallest and strongest growers were your Purple Glory, Hollyhock, 
E. J. Shaylor, White Pendleton, the English Golden Measure, Groff’s Evolution and 
the French La Triomph.’s Giants could not get up to even look over these 
fellows shoulders.” 
MISS LENA RICE, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 25, 1921: “The bulbs I purchased 
I rom you last spring are now in bloom, and are magnificent, far surpassing any¬ 
thing we ever saw before.” 
E. V. FOWLER, Ohio, Aug. 25, 1921: “The gladioli which I obtained from you 
have created a sensation here. The blooms have been of wonderful size and 
beauty.” 
J. F. CARR, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 5, 1921: “I think it my duty to tell you 
what success I have had with the Gladioli bulbs I purchased from you. To be 
I rank your bulbs beat anything I have ever seen, they more than please. I have 
other higher priced American bulbs growing by the side of your stock but believe 
me they are seconds. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kunderd, very, very much for 
what you have done for this flower.” 
W. S. GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, July 13, 1921: “There is no discount on Kun- 
derd’s Gladioli. True I have some beautiful kinds from other growers, but yours 
somehow stand at the head. E. J. Shaylor is now in bloom, five feet high and 
extremely beautiful. Your mixture is graded as follows: xxxx plus A A 1 plus 
100% plus, grand beyond compare.” 
D. L. BOARDMAN, Mich., Feb. 11, 1921: “I have bought Gladioli from Maine 
to Calif, including some of .’s very high priced varieties and I am frank 
to say the latter should not be mentioned the same day with “Kunderd” in connec¬ 
tion with Gladioli. No comparison in size or colors with your grand varieties.” 
GEALE WOODALL, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 10, 1921: “You certainly are the 
man that put Glad in Gladiolus. I thought I would drop you a line to show you 
how satisfied I am with the bulbs you sent me. I have many single blooms over 
5% inches across. The town is wild over them. I don’t think there is a person in 
town that has not seen them. Several have told me that if they could get such 
bulbs as mine, they would not take theirs out of the ground this fall.” 
THOS. I. COUSINS, Mich., Aug. 12, 1921, in a postscript says: “I ordered quite 
a number of bulbs from a large advertiser: while some are very good, I consider 
the average far below yours. My $ $ seem to go farther in buying quality when 
placed with you.” 
I-I. E. GEIGER, Pa., Aug. 2, 1921: “Last spring I bought some of your 
Gladioli and they surely were beautiful. A florist asked me where I got my bulbs 
and when I told him he said, “That’s the place to get them.” Next year I am plan¬ 
ning to grow a lot of Gladioli and, as I want the best, I intend selling my others 
and growing yours exclusively.” 
MRS. A. Id. AUSTIN, Ohio. The famous authority, writer and grower of Gladi¬ 
oli, writes July 26, 1921: “I am writing to tell you how much I admire your beau¬ 
tiful ‘Marie Kunderd.’ It is certainly a most worthy variety.”
