MRS. WALTER REED, “The Cairo”, Washington, D. C., writes Feb. 27, 1918: 
“Enclosed please find my check for $3.00. I only wish I could make it $30.00, 
for your Gladioli last summer gave me more pleasure than all of the other flowers 
put together.” 
GEO. D. COLLY, 30 Noyes St., Woodford, Me., writes under date of Feb. 2, 1918: 
“I have never had or seen such beautiful colors or such satisfactory flowers 
as those purchased from you the last two years.” 
W. K. WHITAKER, at the State College of Washington, Pullman, Wash., writes 
under date of Jan. 18, 1918: 
“I am enclosing herewith a small order for Gladiolus—my third, I think. 
Needless to say, your bulbs have given me a degree of pleasure and satisfaction 
not obtainable elsewhere, and I confidently expect your new varieties I am adding 
will measure fully up to your standard. My best wishes for your continued success.” 
HON. JAMES R. MANN (Office of Republican Leader), Washington, D. C., writes 
under date of Jan. 19, 1918: 
“Dear Mr. Kunderd:—Last spring I received from you the Gladiolus sent, 
including ‘Mrs. Frank Pendleton/ and the bulbs were so large and fine and the 
blooms so wonderfully beautiful that they were almost beyond belief. You are 
certainly giving great pleasure to many people with your exquisite flower creations 
and I enclose a new order for bulbs.” 
HARRIS B. HATCH, 620 Sansom St., Philadelphia, Pa., writes Jan. 28, 1918: 
“I am enclosing order, together with my check for $25.00. I bought a few 
Gladiolus from you last year. It is because I am so well pleased with them that 
I am buying more this year. I want to say very frankly to you that your catalog 
does not truly represent your goods. Bulbs such as I received from you last year 
and such as I expect to receive this year deserve far better publicity and better 
printing than you are giving them in your catalog.” 
F. A. W EIZEL (Grower), 211 Griffith St., Syracuse, N. Y. (Member of American 
Gladiolus Society), writes under date of Aug. 27, 1918: 
I he bulbs that I received from you this spring (300) were very fine and are 
blooming. Your ‘Ideal’ and ‘Grand Mixtures’ are without doubt the finest that can 
be bought regardless of price.” 
JOSEPH II. PERRY, 276 Highland St., Worcester, Mass., writes March 24, 1918: 
Last summer ‘White Glory’ was the first to bloosom and we thought it the 
most beautiful Gladiolus, by far, that we had ever seen; but a little later when 
Ciinkles^ blossomed, we had to admit that this one was even more beautiful 
Crinkles is simply a work of art and worthy to be placed by the side of the works 
ol any of the masters, either old or young ”
