I-I. E. MEADER (Elected President of The American Gladiolus Society, 1919) 
Dover, N. H., wrote us Nov. 6, 1916: 
“In several years’ experience with your methods, permit me to express my 
appreciation of you as a straightforward business man who can always be depended 
on for a square deal, most generously measured. In a selected collection of the 
choicest varieties from the most noted specialists, both here and abroad, your 
exquisite creations proved the premier attraction of my gardens, and I have ex¬ 
hibited them to my entire satisfaction at several of the largest shows, where they 
received highest honors.” 
REV. GEORGE SCHOENER (the great Rose Originator), says under date of 
May 15, 1917: 
“My Dear Mr. Kundred:—The flowers from the bulbs you sent me last year 
were exceedingly beautiful, and I may well say excel all other Gladioli. You surely 
reign supreme in this branch of horticulture.” 
Then again, August 30, 1917: “I cannot help but write you at least a few 
words, that the Gladioli which you sent me are now in full bloom. They are, one 
and all, a revelation of beauty. I must admit that the Gladioli surpass even roses 
in fine shades and penciling. If they would yet have a good perfume they would 
stand supreme. I trust that you have again this year some grand seedling for the 
pleasure of your many admirers.” 
(Fr. Schoener’s new creations in new giant edible podded peas, hybrid beans, 
etc., are becoming an asset to American food products. I-Ie is one of those very 
scientific plant breeders whose labors are applied to thorough studies for practical 
results. His new home is at 705 E. Monticello St., Santa Barbara, Calif.) 
J. H. SKINNER, Publisher of “The Austin Herald”, Austin, Minn., on Dec. 4, 1916, 
writes: 
“The bulbs I got from you last spring were the most successful I ever planted. 
r Phe flowers were more beautiful than any floral catalog. This means much in 
these days of fancy printing.” 
F. G. YULE, Vice-President of C. S. Harrison’s Select Nurseries, of York, Neb., 
writes: 
“I have had the Gladiolus on my grounds for a number of years and was 
perfectly satisfied with my flowers until I saw yours; then I made up my mind I 
had never yet seen Gladioli. The nursery considers their Gladiolus acquisition as 
so much ‘pure gold’.” 
J. M. ADAMS, Hartford, Conn., writes: 
“I have made out a list of new varieties which I desire, but it is hard to 
choose, for all the varieties you put out are full of merit. I certainly think your 
originations are far ahead of all others.” 
PROF. R. C. II. LENSKI, D. D., Capital University, Columbus, Ohio: 
“The bulbs have all bloomed simply wonderful. ‘Pendleton’, ‘Kunderdi Glory’, 
‘Pride of Goshen’, and ‘White Glory’ were a revelation to me.” 
E. T. FLANNEGAN, San Gabriel, Cal. (Gladiolus Specialist), writes: 
“There is no comparison between your Gladioli and older kinds, for your new 
varieties are incomparably the best.” 
Again: “It is a real pleasure to deal with a man like you. And I am not 
flattering you. I got more than value received every time.”
