ALBERT DEDE, Ontario, 1920, writes: “I sure enjoyed the visit to your farm. 
I took note of many varieties that I must have. I have before me a wonderful 
spike of ‘White Ivory’. ‘Gov. Hanley’ is doing fine this year, also ‘Creston’, ‘Kas- 
son’, ‘Nampa’, etc. A surprise this year was ‘Snow Flake,’ as beautiful a’white 
as I ever saw and a large flower.” 
JOHN E. SNELL, Maine, 1920, writes: “I never have found any ‘rogues’ in 
the bulbs bought direct from you.” 
N. W. WARNER, Vermont, 1920, writes: “In years past I have purchased 
Gladioli conns from you. They have proved very satisfactory and ahead of any¬ 
thing procured elsewhere.” 
S. W. ROGERS, Mass., 1919, writes: “I only had six bulbs from you last year, 
but they were so fine I want some more and am sending my order early. $12.50.” 
WM. A. WILBUR, Mass., 1919, writes: “In the spring I received from you 
some very fine bulbs. They bloomed and we never saw such blossoms. They 
have a beauty all their own.” 
I. L. BAUMGARTNER, Iowa, 1919, writes: “Words fail me in expressing my 
pleasure raising the Ruffled Gladioli which I ordered from you last spring.” 
MRS. E. H. BARNES, Fla., 1919, writes: “Last March I ordered eighteen new 
Ruffled varieties. Each one of the eighteen was a gem and a delight to the eye. 
1 shall order more for next spring.” 
E. L. STONEBROOK, Gladiolus Grower, California: “We are enjoying your 
Ruffled Gladiolus, and the ‘Pendleton’, which are in bloom. Your creations are 
superb.” 
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, Ind., (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 deserv¬ 
ing of all the credit you have received and more.” 
HAROLD J. CHILD (Decorator), Toronto, Canada, writes October 8, 1917: 
“The season is almost over, although some of your Gladiolus are still blooming. 
1 cannot find words to express the great pleasure I have had for two months in 
seeing your Gladiolus 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 wth yours. I am waiting for next spring when I shall 
certainly get many more from you.” 
C. M. SCRACE, Los Angeles, Cal., writes under date of Feb. 8, 1917: “From 
my trials 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. ‘Youell’s Fav¬ 
orite’, the eighth flower out, six inches across, ‘Red Amaryllis’ six inches, etc.” 
MRS. C. A. BRIGGS, Sacramento, Cal., writes under date of August 30, 1917: 
“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 believe 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, Vermont, 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 any one looking for the best in Gladioli.” 
REV. F. J. JANSEN, St. Vincent’s Rectory, Elkhart, Ind., writes: “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 impos¬ 
sible 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.”
