THIS OFFER HOLDS GOOD ONLY WHILE SURPLUS STOCKS LAST, BUT IN NO WAY APPLIES TO PREVIOUS ORDERS. A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Indiana When anything is as unusual as this bulletin it requires but little explanation or description. The most sensational Gladi¬ olus news that could reach you is the fact that I am distributing FREE, on a most unique plan, a surplus of blooming size, good quality KUNDERD GLADIOLUS BULBS. This bul¬ letin is very timely also, for it means that you can have later flowers, perhaps a new and novel experience to you, as there are less flowers in the fall than any other time of the season. My reason for this sensational announcement is this: I have had a good year, considering business conditions; in fact, it has been far above the average industry. But in spite of this I have a surplus supply of bulbs on some of my finest catalog varieties. This is due to the business depression which affected almost every business in the United States. My present inventory shows an overstock on the varieties listed inside this bulletin. You will note there are approxi¬ mately 300 kinds and my finest catalog varieties are among them. These are the very ones I am distributing among my customers FREE.

Read Carefully Before Ordering ! In the left-hand space, place a small figure indicating the number of bulbs you desire of the varieties wanted. The prices in¬ dicated are identical to the prices listed in my 1931 catalog, and if you want a more definite description of these varieties you may refer to my catalog. The type is in¬ dicated by initials between parenthesis fol¬ lowing the name of the variety; (P) stands for Plain Petaled, (PR) for Primulinus, (R) for Ruffled. After you have stated the varieties wanted, add up the total and make another selection from the list for the same amount. I would suggest you put a circle around the figures of your FREE list, so that I will know it as your FREE list. This second choice constitutes the bulbs I will send you FREE. Then make out your check, money order or draft to the amount of your first list and fill in the small blank on the lower right hand corner and mail in the entire folder. Do not detach the small order blank from your list. I will then immediately send you your order, together with the FREE bulbs. A. E.
