Greetings to Our Friends and Patrons:. 
It is with pleasure that 1 am sending you my Price List for 
1938. Your generous and kind support is thoroughly appre¬ 
ciated and inspires me to continued effort to make available 
for you only the best Dahlias at prices within reach of every 
one. Therefore, instead of getting out a fancy catalog, I have 
prepared this Price List to take its place, and have passed the 
saving on to every Dahlia lover who places an order with me 
by reducing my prices, thereby enabling many to enjoy the 
better Dahlias at prices that fit their pocketbooks. 
I have greatly enjoyed reading the many letters I received 
this past season, telling me of the various successes obtained 
from stock purchased from me. This was very gratifying, and 
you can rest assured I will continue to give the best of quality, 
good service, and give the other fellow the kind of treatment 
I myself would like to receive. I would like to meet you all 
personally, and again extend the invitation to those who have 
not seen our gardens, drop in and let's get acquainted. 
Thanking you for the courteous patronage I have enjoyed, 
and hoping I can serve you again this coming season. 
Respectfully yours, 
CHARLES SELINGER. 
A Kind Word

Thanks. More than pleased; and did they come through 
fine? Yes. Keep me on your mailing list. 
Thanks again. 
Yours as B-4, 
FRANCIS A. MOORE, 
Michigan City, Ind. 
Special Information 
All orders, large or small, will be appreciated, and if you 
send in the names of five or more of your Dahlia friends with 
an order of $2.00 or more, I will add a root or plant of 50c 
or more value free to your order. Have your friends write a 
card for our price list if you are not sending in an order, and 
names with it. Or if you do not wish to keep our price list 
and care to pass it on to some one interested, it will be 
appreciated. 
State and Federal Inspected Roots and Plants 
We ship roots and plants that have been inspected and all 
out of the state orders will be accompanied by a certificate of 
inspection. 
We grow and ship them in 3 x 3 x 3 inch bands which hold 
twice as much dirt as a 3-inch pot, and it stands to reason 
they are stronger and better. 
IMPORTANT 
Notice on Green Plant Shipments. Plants will be shipped from May 
1st to June 15th, but cannot be sent C. O. D., as this causes delay. 
When roots and plants are ordered together, roots will be held and 
shipped with the plants unless otherwise specified. 
Order Early. By so doing you will be assured of getting all of the 
Dahlias wanted, as the demand for some varieties exceeds the supply. 
Time of Shipment. Unless ordered otherwise roots will be shipped 
between April 15th and May 31st by Parcel Post. 
Warning. Do not send cash by mail unless you have it registered. 
Terms. Remittance may be made in the most convenient way 
when sent with order. Or if desired, 25 per cent when order is placed; 
balance to be paid at time set by you for shipment of stock. 
Minimum Order. On all orders less than $2.00, add 15 cents for 
postage. All orders $2.00 and up delivered prepaid. 
Ail Orders are acknowledged the day received. Keep a copy of 
your order. Write name and address plainly. 
Substitution. We never substitute unless requested to do so. 
Abbreviations Used. F. D.—Formal Decorative; I. D.—Informal 
Decorative; S. C.—Semi-Cactus; Str. C.—Straight Cactus. 
Prices. Our prices are for good quality stock, carefully grown and 
handled, and are as low as is consistent with good service, liberal 
replacement policies, extras that please, and the supply of the variety. 
If you desire your order sent Special Delivery, add 25c.
