Testimonials From Well-Known Authorities 
WM. J. STEWART, Editor and Manager of “Horticulture”, Boston: 
“The Gladiolus bulbs you sent me did spendidly, and the beauty of the flowers 
has enthused the neighborhood. They will be satisfied next year with nothing 
short of the finest new sorts.” 
N. LEON WINTZER, Gladiolus Grower, West Grove, Pa., wrote us May 22, 1916: 
“Your kind letter of the 17th is noted, and I only wish I could take to myself 
the expressions therein, but you evidently have confused me with my father, Mr. 
Antoine Wintzer, who is the producer of many of the newer varieties of cannas. 
I passed your good words on to my father—coming from Mr. Kunderd they mean 
a great deal to him.” 
LEWIS L. ALLEN, Providence, R. I., writes under date of Dec. 20, 1916: 
“The Ruffled Gladioli that I purchased from you opened up a new revelation 
of what can be accomplished with this wonderful flower. Please, send your 1917 
catalog when ready.” 
A. P. SAUNDERS, Secretary of The American Peony Society, Clinton, N. Y., writes 
under date of Jan. 27, 1916: 
“I have grown your Ruffled Gladiolus for some years and am a great admirer 
of it. I was much interested to see that the ruffled type is now being extended 
into a wider range of colors. I have no doubt this fine type of bloom has a great 
future before it.” 
P. N. ELMORE, Gladiolus Grower, Tacoma, Wash., wrote us Sept. 13, 1916: 
“I can truly say that I never saw finer flowers in my ten years that I have 
grown Gladiolus, and I have had some fine ones. Your mixture beats them all, and 
only one bulb that did not grow.” 
A. RORDAME, Salt Lake City, Utah, writes under date of Oct. 19, 1916: 
“I have had in mind to write you for a long time my appreciation and ad¬ 
miration of the lovely Gladioli that I obtained from you. They were truly the glory 
of my garden.” 
JOHN I. BEGGS, President of Wisconsin Light,, Heat and Power Co., Milwaukee, 
Wis., writes under date of March 30, 1916: 
“Last year I set out at my Country Place, Beggs Isle, Oconomowoc, Wis., over 
3,000 Gladiolus from many different sources and of many varieties, and I have no 
hesitation in stating that those received from you were the best of the entire lot, 
the bulbs being large and the blooms and foliage profuse and highly attractive.” 
ORR BROTPIERS, Horticulturists, etc., Lower I-Iutt, New Zealand, write under 
date of Aug. 17, 1916: 
“We are pleased to inform you that every one of the Gladiolus conns which 
we had from you germinated splendidly, and that the flowers are simply mag¬ 
nificent.” 
HOWARD BLACKLY, Kalispell, Montana, writes under date of Sept. 18, 1916: 
“The Gladioli I got from you last spring, a sample order of your selection, 
have done surprisingly well. Their growth was remarkable for vigor. ‘Red Amaril- 
las’ is an astonishing flower. Shall send you as large an order as I can afford 
next spring.”
