Greetings to My Dahlia Friends 
It gives me pleasure to present you with my 1938 
Catalog and again offer you many popular Dahlias at 
new low prices. 
I regret very much that I have not been able to issue 
and send out this catalog at an earlier date, but I hope 
I am not too late to receive your order. 
In regards to green Dahlia plants, I will have to dis¬ 
continue green Dahlia plants for this season.for the reason 
that I have been playing a losing game by growing these 
plants because the distance to most of my customers is 
too far—also the risk and expense is too great, especially 
at the very low prices that I have offered these plants at. 
However, this year I have a very large stock of gooc^ 
roots. Consequently, I have marked down the price 20 
to 50yo on most items. 
It pays to buy good roots, instead of plants, while 
good plants if given the proper care will bloom well. 
Good roots, if given good cultivation, will often produce 
a sturdier and stronger blooming plant and does noi^ 
require the close watchful attention that is necessary to 
get results, as when you plant green plants. 
I never substitute unless requested, however, in case 
I should be sold out of any kinds ordered, if you will 
name a second choice, or allow me to substitute I will 
assure you that I wall make a satisfactory selection for 
you. 
Thanking you for past favors and hoping I may have 
the pleasure to receive your valued orders again this 
year I am. 
Yours very truly, 
N. A. MILLER.
