SECOND GENERATION OF KUNDERDS IN GLADIOLUS BUSINESS 
certainly was a pity to keep such beautiful flowers out of the reach of these men 
and women. This is my reason for pricing the finest at from 5c to 25c per bulb. I have 
had lots of opposition to my plan, but have decided to go through with it and prove 
that I am right. I believe that I can conduct a successful business by giving my customers 
varieties that come up to my own critical standards at prices well within the reach of 
everybody. 
I grow no gladioli mixtures because there are varieties that produce more 
abundantly than others, thereby making unbalanced mixtures—too many of one kind 
and not enough of other varieties. At my low prices for named kinds, you may order 
what you want and know what you are getting. I have always thought that buying 
field grown mixtures was like buying a cat in a sack or something sight unseen. 
Every order will receive a full measure of personal interest so as to be sure that 
each customer receives all that is expected and more. Many other things that will help 
serve the customer in the best way possible are constantly kept in mind. 
Twenty-eight years of actual experience in the growing of gladioli for my father, 
A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Indiana, and six years growing gladioli for myself, puts me in 
a position to intelligently take care of the gladioli needs of my customers. 
If you want your flower loving friends to have my 1940 catalog, kindly send me 
their names and addresses. 
Should you receive a duplicate of my 1940 catalog, please pass it on to a friend.

TESTIMONIAL 
Robert J. Kunderd. Wilmington, Ohio, July 19, 1939. 
Dear Mr. Kunderd: 
Ever since I received those wonderfully pretty gladioli bulbs I have wanted to write and 
tell you how thrilled I was when I opened the sack. It was the Beginners' Collection. Now 
they are blooming and I want to spend all my time looking at them. They are fine. I asked 
for a white one and you sent me two wonderful ones. The "Maid of Orleans" is an inspiration. 
You sent it and "Northern Light" as premiums. I surely appreciate them and I heartily 
recommend your bulbs to my friends. Sincerely, 
(Miss) Ethel Gillam.
