JOSEPH J. KRUPA, Chicago, Ill., writes us under date of Aug. 18, 1917: 
“The trip to your place in Goshen will certainly remain with me a pleasant 
memory as long as I live. What I saw was beyond all my expectations. It cer¬ 
tainly must be a source of pleasure and satisfaction to you to have developed 
your place to such proportions and achieve such splendid results. The acres of 
Gladioli fields with riots of colors and all the magnificent new introductions was 
a sight never to be forgotten. I can only heartily congratulate you on your 
achievements and wish you all the success in furthering and developing the 
magnificent flower which has found its way to every true garden and flower 
lover's hearth.” 
(Mr. Krupa is one of the foremost gardeners of the Central West and a man 
thoroughly versed and schooled in European gardens, now located at Oconomo- 
woc, Wis.) 
P. W. STEUHMER, Nurseryman, Waupaca, Wis.: 
“1 grew thirteen of your varieties and all of them are good. The ‘Red 
Amanitas’ is a grand thing.” 
“I like your mixtures. They can not be improved. You certainly have my 
praise and wonder. Every one is a prize and no end of colors.” 
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, 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.” 
HAROLD J. CHILD (Decorator), Toronto, Canada, writes October 8, 1917: 
“The season is almost over, although some of your Gladiolus are still blooming. 
I 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 with 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, 
‘Youel’s Favorite’, the eighth flower out, six inches across, ‘Red Amarillas’ six 
inches, etc.” 
GLEN P. PIOWARD (Landscape Gardener), Harlan, Iowa, wrote us Aug. 30, 1917: 
“I wish to say that I was very much pleased and delighted with the bulbs I 
ordered from you last spring. I ordered only a few, but I can tell from them the 
quality of bulbs you raise. You may look for an order from me next spring, and 
it will be a larger order than last.”
