Greetings for 1942 | 
With the beginning of another season, we extend our 
personal greetings to the many fine. friends who have helped 
to make 1941 a pleasant and successful year. It is our sin- 
cere wish that the future will bring a continuance of these 
pleasant relations. 
We greet, also, the many lovers of the dahlia to whom our 
catalogue goes for the first time, and particularly do we wish 
to thank the many customers who have recommended us to 
their friends. 
This past fall we again won the commercial sweepstakes 
at the Battle Creek Dahlia Show, from the keenest of compe- 
tition. A trial order will convince you that we grow the 
healthiest roots in Michigan. 
We would like to meet you all personally and again extend 
the invitation to visit our greenhouse and gardens at 392 North 
Washington Avenue, as well as our garden at 684 Capital 
Avenue, S.W., Battle Creek, Michigan. 
Sincerely yours, 
SELINGER’S DAHLIA GARDENS. 
Charles Selinger and Laurence Kerr, Proprietors.
