WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING. 



When buyers forget to forget — when com- 

 petition ceases to compete; when every 

 actual ami prospective customer has been 

 convinced that your product is the best 

 of its kind and nothing better can be | 

 1 1 in i'il. then, anil only then, will it be 

 sale to get along without advertising. — 

 Baker's Helper. 



Until that time comes. HORTICUL- 

 TURE can take care of your inter- 

 ests. If you want to sell to the best 

 buyers in any branch of horticultural 

 industry HORTICULTURE is unques- 

 tionably in the front rank as an ad- 

 vertising medium.
