12 HORNBERGER’S SERVICE . HAMBURG, N. Y. 


Hornberger’s Double Value Collection 
GLADIOLI (OF) ONE HUNDRED (100) VARIETIES IN THIS ASSORTMENT 
We regard this as one of the most exceptional (unlabeled) gladiolus offers we 
have ever made. We ask you to compare it with any other offer from any other 
source at anywhere near this price. We offer 100 or more varieties, one or more 
bulbs of each variety. We offer this collection in the medium size only. They will 
be the LARGER OF THE MEDIUM SIZE. ALL WILL BE BULBS OF ONE INCH 
OR MORE DIAMETER. In many instances vigorous ‘‘Young Bulbs” of this size 
often give better bloom than old, large bulbs that have been ‘‘flowered” a long time 
and have made many divisions. We cannot supply the names of these varieties, but 
they will represent many fine kinds we list in this catalog. We have put so much 
value in this unlabeled collection, that we must offer them in UNITS OF 100 BULBS. 
If you want only 25 or 50 have some of your friends, take a part of a 100 bulb unit. 
NO CATALOG DISCOUNTS APPLY. Prices are (net) prepaid in UNITS of 100 
bulbs $2.00 per Unit. 
50c SPECIALS — LONG SEASON ASSORTMENTS 
These are assortments of sizes not varieties, many of our customers like an 
assortment of large, medium and small sizes of the same variety for a longer season 
of bloom; when all three sizes are planted at the same time, the large flower first 
followed by the medium, and later by the small bulbs, this gives you many weeks 
of bloom from any one variety. 
.50c SPECIALS are for the varieties we list in this catalog, where one bulb 
each, of the three sizes, amounts to less than .50c Allow .50c for each item or 
variety wanted, and we will send you good value, in each variety ordered. 
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 
Most growers offer special collections and assortments for customers who like 
to purchase their glads in ready-made assortments. We have also offered these as- 
sortments in past catalogs but we find such a small number of our customers pur- 
chase in this manner that we have adopted the following plan for this season. 
After January 1st we will have available some of these offers on mimeographed 
letters. If you like to purchase your bulbs this way, send us a post card and we will 
mail this 1941 List of SPECIAL COLLECTIONS.
